i downloaded the service patch, installed it. After doing
so, i can't open my computer, control panel and a few
other programs. When i click on start, then my computer
it tries to open but then the screen freezes.

A message pops up.

"data execution prevention, to better protect your
computer windows has closed this program."


this happens even though the firewall is turned off
can someone please help, thanx.
