  After Effects 7.0 on Vista Ultimate 64bit

  Posted by Rafael Otero on September 15, 2009 at 1:34 pm

  Hi everyone,
  I installed my Ae 7.0 on Vista Ultimate. It all installed smoothly. When I try to run it, I get an error that says “DEP (Data Execution Prevention) prevented After Effects from running…” It says it is harmful to my computer, etc. I added Ae 7.0 to the list of allowed software on my machine, restarted and I still get the same message. Is this becuase Ae 7.0 is not allowed to run on Vista 64?

  Thank you for you help!
  Rafa.

  I strongly doubt that a version this old has been tested and approved to work on Vista 64. In fact I don’t believe that Adobe has even certified CS3 to work properly. You could try working in XP “Compatibility Mode” by changing the Properties on the program in Windows. I suspect you’re on a hiding to nowhere though.

  Todd Kopriva has written up some useful tips for CS4 in a 64bit environment.

  I don’t think you’ll have much joy with V7 though.

  All the best,
  Ben

  Ben,
  Thank you for replying. I didn’t think of trying to run it in XP compatibility mode. I will definitely try that tonight, and will post the outcome here. Thank you for your suggestion!

  Rafa.
