Vista - Photo Gallery closed by DEP.

Hi all,
Someone in the dutch groups has got the folling problem, the Photo
Gallery keeps being closed by DEP.
He tried to set an exception, but got the message that PG has to run
under DEP.
Any ideas anyone?

Hi,

Is it an option for you to turn off DEP?

Cheers,

Foes

No, DEP can't be turned off for the Photo Gallery. Unfortunately...

What is DEP?

<q>
Data Execution Prevention (DEP) helps prevent damage from viruses and
other security threats that attack by running (executing) malicious
code
from memory locations that only Windows and other programs should use.
This type of threat causes damage by taking over one or more memory
locations in use by a program. Then it spreads and harms other
programs,
files and even your e-mail contacts. DEP monitors your programs to
determine if they use system memory safely. To do this, DEP software
works alone or with compatible microprocessors to mark some memory
locations as "non-executable". If a program tries to run code,
malicious
or not, from a protected location, DEP closes the program and notifies
you.

knowing what it is it would be very very strange if ''you'' could turn off
the DEP. If you can do it, programs also could do it, so that the whole
point of the DEP is worthless.
Or am I wrong with this.
(i assume the UAC is also turned off otherwise you would end up with a
notice)

waarom trouwens in het engels als we in nl.windows.vista zitten?

You can turn off and turn on DEP from the command line. I agree with
Richard... it sort of makes it useless. I HAVE disabled DEP because it
interfered more than helped - I spent more time trying to get things to run
under DEP than actually working. I'm waiting for the ever elusive SP 1 to fix
the DEP issue.

What do we need to type into the command line to turn it off and on?

I really do advise (not that I'm some expert or anything) against shutting it
down unless you're in a similar situation as I am. With that said

You have to open the command prompt as the administrator - Start, All
Programs, Accessories. Right click the C:\ prompt and run as administrator.
At the prompt type in

bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff

Hit the enter key and you should get a confirmation that it was completed.
You'll need to reboot your system and DEP will be off. Note... to turn it
back on use the same command line as above except AlwaysOn
