I am running Vista on a new Lenovo laptop & had the same issue with the Windows installer stopping. I had to backup all my files & reinstall Windows Vista with discs provided by Lenovo to solve the problem.
I hope this helps! TonyO Stephan G <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Thanks NoOp: I was able to stop and completely disabled DEP as you suggested. But the Windows Installer stopped anyway, in the same place, even when I tried to run everything as "administrator". Dialog Error Message states: Windows Installer Has Stopped Working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. A couple of days ago, before turning off DEP, I got this same error message, and then when I hit the continue button, I got the message about DEP being triggered on a memory violation. Now that I have turned DEP off, when I hit the continue button, nothing more happens. Any further ideas? Should I file a bug report? Many thanks to all. -stephan NoOp wrote: > On 07/02/2007 04:57 PM, Stephan G wrote: >> Does anyone know how to turn off DEP entirely?
