How Do I Isolate What's Trigging DEP?

I've been using the "Photos" Screen Saver for a long time. Lately it's been
closing with a little window that sez"Photos Screen Saver has stopped
working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will
close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Once I click on
"Close Program", another window pops up to tell me that Data Execution
Prevention is shutting it down.

Presumably, one or more of the items in my "Pictures" folder is triggering
DEP. I've got subfolders in there which include some movie clips and humorous
commercials.

Is there some way (other than trial and error) I can find out which file is
triggering DEP so I can move it to a folder outside of "Pictures"?

I've not done it, but the best bet is going to be the Event Viewer
(eventvwr.msc) You could always isolate the problem down by moving a few out
at a time.

It is the program not handling memory properly, so it could be one picture
or set on one test and another combination another time. The only solution
is replacing the program, or you can exclude it from DEP processing.
Microsoft Money is one program poorly written and in need of exclusion or
replacing.
