Fix it solution for peer factory in iepeers.dll
We have created an application compatibility database that will disable peer factory in the iepeers.dll binary for supported versions of Internet Explorer on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. To install this application compatibility database, click the Fix it button in the "Fix it solution for peer factory in iepeers.dll" section.
Fix it solution for Data Execution Prevention
We have created an application compatibility database that will enable Data Execution Prevention (DEP) for all versions of Internet Explorer that support DEP. You do not need this database if you are using Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) or on Windows Vista SP1 or later versions. This is because Internet Explorer 8 opts-in to DEP by default on these platforms.
To install this application compatibility database, click the Fix it button in the "Fix it solution for Data Execution Prevention" section.
To apply the "Disable peer factory in iepeers.dll" automatically to supported versions of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, click the Fix it button or link. Click Run in the File Download dialog box, and then follow the steps in the Fix it wizard.
To undo the fix and restore the original settings, click the Fix this problem link under the "Disable this fix" heading. Then, click Run in the File Download dialog box and follow the steps in the wizard.
This wizard may be in English only. However, the automatic fix also works for other language versions of Windows.
If you are not on the computer that has the problem, you can save the automatic fix to a flash drive or to a CD, and then you can run it on the computer that has the problem.
To enable or disable DEP automatically, click the
Fix it
button or link. Click
Run
in the
File Download
dialog box, and then follow the steps in the Fix it wizard.
These wizards may be in English only. However, the automatic fixes also work for other language versions of Windows.
If you are not on the computer that has the problem, save the Fix it solutions to a flash drive or a CD and then run it on the computer that has the problem.
These wizards do not apply to Windows 2000-based operating systems because Windows 2000 does not support DEP.
For this workaround to be effective, your processor must support Hardware-enforced DEP.
