Re: DEP - Enable or Disable

Casey,

By default in the:

Internet Zone: Disabled
Local Intranet Zone: Enabled

I would just go with the default settings. They are pretty good.

Re: DEP - Enable or Disable

Brink,
you stated that DEP is enabled by default in IE7 64 bit. Can it be disabled?

The options you presented seem to be directed at Vista (32 & 64bit ) and IE7 32bit. It wouldn't be the first if I've misread instructions.

Thanks for taking the time to make a difference.

Re: DEP - Enable or Disable

Hi JHM,

Sorry, DEP is native to 64 bit and cannot be disabled. I only referenced both the 32 bit and 64 bit Vista because the 64 bit Vista still uses 32 bit applications.

Re: DEP - Enable or Disable

Hi, I have 32 bit version of Windows home premium. I have installed adobe acrobat 8 professional and the only way I can get it to scan to pdf via my 1232 Twain scanner is if I disable DEP. Is this safe for my system. I did go to Adobe site and update to the most recent version however it still will not work unless I disable DEP completly because it will not allow me to do it for the single program. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Maf4800,

Welcome to Vista x64 Forums.

Adobe Acrobat Reader is a safe program to trust. It may be some conflict between the Twain driver for you scanner and the Adobe background service. As a test to just eliminate these as a possible cause, you might try doing it with UAC, antivirus program, firewall program, and any other security program that is running off and on.
