Vista - DEP harassment

DEP can cause annoyances at best when trying to do something on your
computer. But it can cause insanity when every third thing you try to do is
halted and unable to even comence due to DEP. My question is,

Is there any possible way to over-all shut off the DEP? It would REALLY help
me in about every way. Thanks.

Hi Jex,

Here is a link on how to disable DEP. Just scroll down a bit until you see the section.

DEP stops a program when it tries to access protected memory. This program could be a malware or a program that is just not compatible with Vista's memory handling. Usually a older utility or IE7 add-on type program. If this is the case, I would recommend to not use them.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Most computer users never hear a peep from DEP. Ever. What programs are you
running that are causing the Data Execution Prevention dialog? If your are
running Internet Explorer, does this happen? If so, at what point? DEP is
occasionally the cause of software problems, usually with older software,
but this is rare. The default DEP setting is to only keep track of Windows
programs and services.
