Vista - DEP - Enable or Disable

Hi Shawn:

I followed your steps on how to disable DEP. The response I get in the Command Prompt widow is as follows:
"boot configuration data store could not be opened. Access id denied."

I'm running VistaSP2 32bit. I have tried the process using both Firefox and IE8 as my default browser. After reading the reposes sent to you I checked the Internet Protected Mode as one of your responders mentioned and it showed up as being off even though the security window showed it as being on. I tried changing it, but it remains off.

I hope you can figure this one out.

Best Regards
Powell Lucas

P.S. I have the COM surrogate set as an exemption in the DEP Settings page.

Hello Powell,

Did you open a elevated command prompt instead of the normal one to use the commands in?

Hi Shawn:

As usual, you provided a solution to the problem just as you have done to every question I have asked for the last 18 months. It is truly appreciated.

That problem is solved, but I have another one. I am trying to play a DVD movie that I burned about a year ago. It has always worked previouly, but now when I try to open it from Autoplay or from Computer, I get a message telling me that Windows Explorer has stopped working. Can you help with this one.

If this question should be posted in the General Forum just let me know and I will resubmit it in that venue.

As always, thank you and
Best Regards

You're welcome Powell.

I moved your other question to the link below instead to keep this tutorial on topic though.

hey fellas hows it going? I've been trying to disable or change the DEP settings so that I can share my music files with my PS3. I know that i need to disable the rundll32.exe program to get it to work the problem is that i am running Vista 64-bit so is there a way that i can go around this. any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hi Dev21:

Go into the Vista tutorials and look up "DEP-Enable or Disable" posted by Brink. It worked for me.
If you can't find it, let me know and I'll give you the details.
Good luck.
