Vista BEX error

winapiwindows-vista

Recently I got IE7 crashed on Vista on jar loading (presumably) with the following error:

Problem signature:
  Problem Event Name:        BEX

Googling revealed this sort of problems is common for Vista and relates to Java (although SUN negates). Also I think it has something to do with DEP. I failed to find official Microsoft Kb.

So, the questions are:

  • What BEX stands for?
  • What is it about?
  • How to deal with such kind of errors?

Best Answer

BEX=Buffer overflow exception. See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc738483.aspx for details. However, c000000d is STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER; the technet article talks primarily about status c0000005 or c0000409 (access violation/DEP)
