Windows 7 Window 7 seems to block external scripts from running within a program

[denyfate]

I recently tried to run a game with some mods after installing window 7 x64.. but it keeps crashing..
at first i thought it was just because the mods aren't compatible

than i tried running a trainer.. again the game crashes the second i input a command from the trainer
example: hit F7 for infinite health -> game crashes

these I can just look over since its just gaming...


but than it seems this even affects microsoft word

my microsoft word 2007 can't seem to access my spellcheck and thesaurus database automatically when it opens...
example: say I right click on a word and try to look for a synonym.. it would tell me no match is found.. and it doesn't detect any of my spelling errors
I have to hit the spellcheck button manually under the review tab, than it is able to access the database here on than, until i close microsoft office and re-open it

I've ran it under XP compatibility, admin, even enabled the hidden admin account.... no luck

seems like there is something in the background of window 7 preventing any sort of external files or scripts be executed once a program is running.. despite me running it as admin or turn off UAC or XP compatibility...

any ideas how to bypass this?

thanks

It seems like you are facing compatibility issues with running certain programs and accessing external files or scripts on Windows 7 x64. Here are some steps you can try to bypass these issues:
### Troubleshooting Steps:
1. Compatibility Mode:
- Try running the game and Microsoft Word in compatibility mode for Windows XP or another compatible version.
- Right-click on the program executable -> Properties -> Compatibility tab -> Check "Run this program in compatibility mode for" -> Select the desired compatibility mode.
2. Run as Administrator:
- Right-click on the program executable -> "Run as administrator" to ensure it has the necessary permissions to access files and scripts.
3. Disable Data Execution Prevention (DEP) for the specific programs:
- Go to Control Panel -> System and Security -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Performance -> Settings -> Data Execution Prevention -> Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select -> Add the programs experiencing issues.
4. Registry Fix for Spell Check:
- There might be registry issues causing problems in accessing the spell check and thesaurus database. You can try repairing the Microsoft Office installation.
5. Check for System Integrity:
- Run a System File Checker (SFC) scan to check for and repair corrupted system files:

     sfc /scannow

6. Check Security Software:
- Temporary disable any third-party security software that might be blocking or interfering with the programs.
7. Update Graphics Drivers:
- Make sure to update your graphics drivers to the latest version to ensure smooth running of games with mods.
8. Check Event Viewer:
- Look for any error messages related to the crashes in the Event Viewer (Eventvwr.msc) to get more details on the issue.
By following these steps, you may be able to bypass the issues you are facing with running programs and accessing external files or scripts on Windows 7 x64. Let me know if you need further assistance!
