Re: DEP - Enable or Disable

Hey man, it says that it was successful but when I put in wmic OS Get DataExecutionPrevention_SupportPolicy it still says 2.. Do you have any idea why? The AlwaysOff thing does fine, but will not activate and it on elevated command. Thanks if you can help.

Re: DEP - Enable or Disable

Hello Mike, and welcome to Vista Forums.

The OptIn (2) setting is the default DEP setting in Vista when it is enabled. If you are trying to use the AlwaysOff command, did you restart the computer afterwards to apply it?

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Re: DEP - Enable or Disable

Hate to be a bother, but this is driving me crazy. I'm sure I did everything right, restarted it, and even went out of my way to make sure it was disabled before trying my program again (number 0 popped up and such). But it's still telling me that DEP is blocking my program, and it's not even supposed to be on! My brain hurts. Be my Advil. =|

Re: DEP - Enable or Disable

Hello Teekay, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Since you are using a 64-bit CPU with a 64-bit Vista, it will probably be the hardware DEP support from the CPU blocking it instead.

If DEP is blocking the program, then you might think twice about using it if trying Compatibility Mode on the program does not help it run properly.

If you still want to disable this DEP as well, then there should be a "no-execute" type option in your BIOS settings to disable it.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
