Re: DEP - Enable or Disable

Hello Ken, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Are you running the command while logged on to an adminstrator account and with a elevated command prompt (run as administrator)?

That would be from UAC. You would need to double check to make sure that your using a elevated command prompt.

Re: DEP - Enable or Disable

In Performance Options, do you have the top option selected as in the left example screenshot?

Re: DEP - Enable or Disable

If it's grayed out, then DEP is disabled.

Re: DEP - Enable or Disable

Double check to see if you have DEP enabled inside Internet Explorer from OPTION TWO in the tutorial. Quite frankly, I would recommend to disable or removed the "Google Toolbar Notifier" add-on since it is tripping DEP by trying to execute in restricted memory and leave DEP fully enabled. There may be some for of malware trying to get through.
