#112 Crashes on launching

[Philip Le Riche]

I've been using mp3bookhelper for several years without a problem, and suddenly it started crashing instantly when you try and launch it. You then get a box offering to report details to Microsoft.

I'm using 2.3.4 under WinXPSP3. Reinstalling it didn't help. I couldn't think of anything I'd recently changed, except possibly installing MS09-001.

Then I remembered that I'd turned on DEP (Data Execution Prevention) a week or two ago. I switched it off selectively for mp3bh, and now it runs.

So, mp3bh doesn't run with DEP enabled.

Note - this may be the explanation of the reported Runtime Error bugs.
