BEX error

[clocon]

I've just bought a new computer with windows 7 64 bit preinstalled. I decided to test out its specs by loading some games on it and the installation ran fine, but when initialising the game from the launcher, an error message pops up, saying the program has stopped working and has to close.
There is an option to close the program and search online for a solution but that never actually starts up.
The problem event name is BEX (?) and this problem has so far occurred with Oblivion, Fallout 3, Mass Effect and once even for internet explorer 8.
I've run all the games in compatibility mode set for XP service pack 3, but the problem still occurs. Ive checked the compatibility of the games on some lists, and the games check out fine.
I've reinstalled windows thinking it was a dodgy install, but that didnt help either.
Interestingly, Oblivion and Fallout 3 will run if I dont run the Launcher program and go straight for the game exe.
I'm at a complete loss as to what could be causing my problems and I was hoping someone could come along and fix the whole thing. Please?

Unfortunately, even the best of the best have to look up information on many problems to troubleshoot them. (I know because they told me once.) So, no need waiting on others to help you out.

In under 20 seconds, I found at least 4 or 5 possible causes.

Not only that, but some other links redirects you to this forum as well.

Anyway, I managed to dig up this somewhere:

Buffer overflow is a condition when some process tries to store data beyond the capacity of the fixed/available buffer so it tries to overwrite some other memory locations, too. And in Windows we have some security feature called Data Execution Prevention that is intended to prevent similar processes to prevent buffer overflow attacks (that can introduce some malicious codes). But in some cases DEP can prevent some legitimate software from executing, too. And then you can get a BEX error.

It is also suggested that we should free up disc space etc. but I have plenty of space...

Dunno if this helps but anyway.....

P.S. I have this problem with NWN2. Here's the report

Is this something I should get worried about or is it just some of those usual good old Windows bug quirks things?

Easy, right click your computer icon go to properties and advanced system settings and then under the advanced tab go to system properties. Once there on the advanced tab under performance, click settings then go to the data execution prevention tab and add the game or program to the exception list. Had no problems after this.

Hello.
I've tried both the answers I saw on this thread and foreign threads (turning off DEP, and doing a clean system startup).
However, the same problem still exists:

Additional Information 3: db89
Additional Information 4: db8978578f3d29651097863bd59b1219

I have to add that this program (in this case, game) wasn't installed (Running it from a previous (also windows 7 ultimate x64) windows installation. However, the program worked fine until a few months ago, and now the only think that happens is that BEX error. And like I said before, I've turned DEP off (by command line) and did a clean system startup: still the same error.
I would also like to point out that I cannot reinstall the program at the moment.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I managed to solve this by doing a clean boot so I like to share it. Simply follow the rules here: How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7 It got my game working. I hope this will helps some people who have searched endlessly on Google for the BEX problem..

 

[Robie]

I have been getting the BEX error when I try to access my bank site. It only began this week....for years now, I had no problem, they do not seem to think they have a problem. But as soon as I access the site and enter the name this error pops up IE has stopped working. Have gotten it occasionally on other sites but not all the time...only the bank site. Any suggestions?

I got a BEX error with the Nike+ Connect software while trying to link my brand new fuelband :sarc:
So I tried a clean boot and removed codec pack, but neither worked

Issue\Solution

Hey guys, just wanted to weigh in on this.
The issue hit my computer not long ago. I never use new software, codecs and such, without testing first.
I started getting a lag in all online videos, youtube and stuff, then games started crashing with this bug. The thing is, both are related. It has to do with the video,drivers. So with that in mind, install the latest directX pack, and ALL LEGACY packs, ie.. 9X, and Adobe shockwave, Adobe flash player.
I only use DivX, and VLC, for video, if they cant play a video, then its not worth it. Other video codecs are simply un needed, and usually buggy, and don't work as well.

I feel, the direct X codec is the key to this issue, and I stand by it. My issue was resolved when I installed older versions of it. Apparently, the new versions, don't have all the same fix\game support, so, always install the provided direct x files with every game, except bootleg copy's, they may be damaged or tampered with.

Re-installing windows, and doing an exception are innovative fixes, but are not addressing the cause. In this case, Id say, if this does not work for you, consider, your video\audio drivers, or even your chip set drivers, may be out dated.

Worst case, your RAM may be damaged from age\heat, though, that would also cause random, or 'when warmed up' BlueScreen.

Thanks @cryptix its worked for me

 

[perzaklie]

Great fix!

Thanks to cryptix. Just found this thread, old it may be, but the BEX problem just reared it's ugly head today and this fixed it!

Easy, right click your computer icon go to properties and advanced system settings and then under the advanced tab go to system properties. Once there on the advanced tab under performance, click settings then go to the data execution prevention tab and add the game or program to the exception list. Had no problems after this.

check the time and the date of the computer you may find it 28-5-2099 or the year is 9999 -what ever it is, they aren't correct, so that change them to the real ones, That's all.
