| | Re: dATA eXECUTION pREVENTION I would get around it by obtaining a copy of the program that was properly designed for Windows XP - let alone Windows Vista. Your program is trying to execute code in a protected area of memory. This is exactly what some malicious software does. This action was not desirable under XP and it is prevented since XP service pack 2 and also in Vista. Can it be turned off? YES! Would I do it or recommend it? NO! http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875351 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875352 http://technet2.microsoft.com/Window....mspx?mfr=true -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "dennthemen" <dennthemen@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:9624DBF0-3848-4F49-8D70-969C9C8586BF@xxxxxx Quote: >I have a UK accounting system (Sage).

| Vista x64 Ultimate | Re: dATA eXECUTION pREVENTION See if your motherboard has NX or data exception switch in the BIOS. If your motherboard, supports DEP at the hardware level use it. I disabled DEP because of my old applications don't support it. No newer versions that support DEP. Microsoft will always tell you to leave it on. I don't know of many newer applications that fully support DEP. |
