Problem: Replay Media Catcher doesn't capture after upgrading to Internet Explorer 8

I have problem with Replay Media Catcher 3.02 since 'upgrading' my web browser from Internet Explorer 7 to IE 8 a couple of weeks ago. I cannot capture anything now, although it worked okay with IE7.

I also have Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome installed as alternative browsers, and Media Catcher works perfectly with it, so the problem seems to be related to IE 8 only.

I can capture streams from I.E. 8 again with Replay Media Catcher after turning off Data Execution Prevention (DEP).

What is Data Execution Prevention (DEP)

Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature that helps prevent damage from viruses and other security threats by monitoring your programs to make sure they use system memory safely.

If you choose to protect all programs, you can still turn off DEP for individual programs. If you suspect that a program does not run correctly when DEP is turned on, check for a DEP-compatible version of the program or an update from the software publisher before you change any DEP settings.

If you are logged on as an administrator, you can manually configure DEP to switch between the OptIn and OptOut policies by using the Data Execution Prevention tab in System Properties. The following procedure describes how to manually configure DEP on the computer:

How to Change Data Execution Prevention (DEP) settings

Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.
Click Advanced System Settings.
Under Performance, click Settings.
Click the Data Execution Prevention tab
Click Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only to select the OptIn policy.
Click Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select to select the OptOut policy.

If the program is not in the list, click Add. Browse to the Program Files folder, find the executable file for the program (it will have an .exe file extension), and then click Open.
Click OK two times.
