I thought I had come across just about all the possible stupidities and 'gotchas' that the Redmond genii had incorporated into their OSs..... but I now have a new one
"Data Execution Prevention"
This appears when attempting to print a test page (or any printing) on a newly re-installed Canon Laser mono printer. It is accompanied by the message "To help protect your computer Windows has closed this program.
Name - Windows Explorer
Publisher - MicroSoft Corporation"
WTHIH???
The original printer installation was totally straightforward; the re-install was needed following a System Restore after my mate had totally fouled up his Internet setup. The "help" files are, as usual, the equivalent of mammaries on a bull, so does anyone know what is happening here and, more importantly, how to sort it?
TIA
