Hi Ian,

With respect, I have to disagree with you. The Advanced Systen Settings GUI
provides 2 options:

a) Turn on DEP for essential Windows Programs and services only
or
b) Turn on DEP for all programs and services, except those I select:

In other words, this allows you to select DEP Policies 2 & 3 from the list
of 4 possible policies (0-3). If you want to turn DEP off altogether, you
*must* use the command line - there is no GUI option for that.

I was suggestiing the OP could disable DEP completely, and verify that his
applications run reliably in that environment. If they still encounter
problems then DEP is not a factor.

Regards,
