Vista - DEP - Turn On or Off for Programs

on item 7 (c) what exe. program do i select and click?

I Bee and welcome to Vista Forums.

This would be for the .exe file for the program that you would want added to the DEP exclusion list so that DEP will be disabled for that program. The exe file for the program is usually located in that program's C:\Program Files folder.

Hope this helps,

Hey everyone.

I really have problem with this "program stoped working". I reinstalled my vista cause I thaught this is a problem with my old vista, but still I have problems.
I even have done everything in this post (I mean turning off the DEP) but still I get the same error.

Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks

Hello Houmansadr, and welcome to Vista Forums.

What is the name of the program that is getting DEP is stopping? DEP stops a program when that program tries to access resticted memory. Now this can be from a malware program, a badly written program, or a older incompatible with Vista program.

If you do not trust this program, then I would recommend uninstalling it. If you do trust it, then see if using Compatibility Mode as Run as administrator with it can help. You could also disable DEP completely, but you will not be as secured if you do.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Hi Brink and thank you so much for replying.

The program is SSH Secure shell. It works fine unless I try to add a "tunnel" to the ssh profile. When I try to do that the "program stopped working" pops up. I have been hanging around for a solution for a while now, but could not find anything.
I have also tried to run as administer and also compatibility with XP.

The wired thing is that even when I completely shut down the DEP (bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff), still I face the same problem. Could it be due to another issue other than DEP?

Thanks again

Did you restart the computer afterwards to apply the disabled DEP? If DEP stopped the program, you would have DEP included in the error message. Otherwise, it was not DEP that stopped the program.

See if using Compatibility Mode on it with Run as administrator helps.

I did restart the computer. I have tried this several times.

I don't get anything about DEP on the error. I only get a window which says:"SSH secure shell stopped working" and that "windows is looking for a solution".

I was directed to your tutorial after reading this post:
Program has Stopped working - Windows Vista Forums
which turns out to be the same problem with a different program. In that post they are assuming that DEP is the cause of error even though they don't get any message about DEP.

I have tried it as compatible with XP and have ran it as an admin, but still the same error.

Thanks

I found this that may be interesting:

You might also see what SSH Secure Shell support says about this error to:

SSH - Support

It didn't help either. I don't know what's wrong with my laptop (or maybe with Vista!), I have tried to different versions of vista and the same problem. Microsoft should provide support for XP compatible programs

BTW, thanks for the help.

I'm sorry Houmansadr,

It appears that program just seems to not be compatible with Vista. You might also contact SSH - Support to see if they can provide a solution for their program to work with Vista.
