downloading itunes for the iphone

Kentmumof1

Hi,

ive been on the computer for hours trying to download itunes 9, it all goes so far then says its been stopped, something to do with a dep that stops some programmes, thing is it won't install and I can't figure out how to take this dep thing off my computer. Which also means I can't use my iphone without doing this as I need to activate it though the itunes, and to top it all off Im a complete novice at all this sort of stuff, has anyone got any advice ???:eek:

When you say a 'dep' what do you mean ?

sorry im not good at all this, DEP im not sure what it stands for but it means there is something that windows is not letting through for security purposes, sorry im at work not at my computer now so I can't check exactly what it means x

It stands for Data Execution Prevention.

From a quick search, it seems as if third party codec packs can often be imcompatible with iTunes and invoke DEP.

If you look in Add/Remove Programs do you have any entries featuring the word 'codec'?
