It is called DAT, for Data Execution Prevention. The AMD chipset has hardwire code that catalogs and controls all kernel code, to ensure Malware does not get through.
Some programes that address the kernel in there own style are seen as a threat and the code is isolated or killed. Ergo, my python scripts for Paint Shop Pro cause the software to crash unless I turn off DAT for that program.
XP has it and Vista will enhance both hardware and software recognition. A lot of programes will have to tow the microsoft line or they will not work correctly.
Vista was rewritten from the ground up in 64 bit, but will address 32 bit. We had the same problem when MS went from 16 to 32 bit. Nothing worked right for years.
