Vista - Turning off DEP

I keep running into Vista programs running because DEP shut it down and it tells me to turn off DEP, but when I try to do so, it says DEP must be on for this program. Anyway to turn DEP off altogether?

Hi Steve,

Change the settings under the Control Panel/System/Advanced sytem
settings/Advanced tab/Performance settings/DEP tab. You can't turn it off,
but you can adjust that which it protects.

On my Dell Desktop Computer, I can turn of DEP by going into the BIOS and
changing the Settings, your computer might be different, however.

Sorry, that's supposed to say Turn On/Off DEP, too early in the morning for
a Spelling Error.

this is the fix i've seen:

Right click on the command prompt icon in start menu and select 'run as
administrator'
From the command prompt window type: bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff

Yes, but is turning it off a good idea? Better to adjust the system so that
it is working correctly than to disable something that is protecting it.

I agree, Rick, but it appears, from the numerous posts on this subject int
he various newsgroups, that many, want to turn DEP off completely, as they
have done in Windows XP. Personally i don't have any trouble with DEP either
in Vista or XP.
