Data Execution Prevention (DEP) - Can't open iTunes!! help!

As above, everytime I try and open iTunes a window appears saying DEP has closed the programme to prevent my computer being damaged. I've run all the clearing exercises of iTunes and Quicktime and re-installed it but to no avail. This has only happened after I upgraded iTunes recently. I am using Vista and I have tried allowing iTunes in the DEP control panel however it says DEP must be working in order to execute this programme.

Please can someone help me out!! I don't want to have to system restore!

HP Pavilion, Windows Vista

*I HAVE THE SOLUTION* BUT NO ONE IS GOING TO LIKE IT.
I NOTICED THAT WHEN I WAS REINSTALLING WINDOWS ON MY DELL
THAT ITUNES STOPPED WORKING BUT IT WAS WORKING BEFORE ON
THE SAME LAPTOP & INSTALLED FROM THE SAME .EXE FILE.

SO I REINSTALLED VISTA AND IT WORKS FINE.

PITTY I DIDN'T NOTICE
THIS BEFORE TRANSRERING 6OGIG OF MUSIC.

THIS WORKED FOR ME BUT IF ANYONE FOUND A BETTER CURE
PLEASE LET ME KNOW AT <KEITHOB877@HOTMAIL.COM>

VISTA *****.
