  • Ross Wilson · 5 months ago
    to reverse this do the same as above but type : bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx OptIn into the command window
  • Jeff · 5 months ago
    When I run the command i get:

    "The boot configuration could not be opened. The maximum number of secrets that may be stored in a single system has been exceeded."

    Any ideas on that?

    I typed in the command in the command prompt and it disabled DEP but the program it kept blocking still doesn't work. Do you know what I can do to get the program working?
  • MASF · 5 months ago
    Thank you it worked perfectly. God bles your soul. :)
  • Ali · 5 months ago

  • craig · 5 months ago
    i know this might be an easy fix but i turned off DEP because it was blocking a program and the DEP is still stopping it from running. any ideas?

    I had same problem with Vista Home running IE8. I disabled Google Toolbar add-ons and all is OK now. (Right click Internet explorer, select start IE without Add-Ons - if this works you can then go to Manage Add-Ons and disable individual ones. I disabled the most recently intalled ones and by a process of elimination discovered that it was Google Toolbar and Google Findbar which were the cause of the problem)

    hmm "no bcedit found"
  • orion · 5 months ago
    you missed the "d". its bcdedit.exe
  • Adnan · 5 months ago
    Not very useful. I did it but to no avail: caused more trouble. I reinstalled avgfree and ran a disc check on C drive which solved my problem.

    I've DEP shutting down my spooler so that the printer does not work. I no longer get the message on start up but the spooler is always off. This in XP though. What has suddenly started this? I cannot get the spooler to start manually either. Bit of a drag as you can usually print your help before starting the fix, I have to write everything down!

    how do i turn it on again?
  • billscull · 2 months ago
    I disabled DEP as you described with bcdedit.exe command line entry. The problem was not solved and I cannot restart DEP with bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOn. So, now I sttil have the problem and no DEP support. What now?
  • jamessuperfun · 1 month ago
    DEP is a bit of security from windows (thhat i find annoying because it closes all my fav apps all the time, i do have to restart app after diabling for program) that closes programs using to much memory, or something. When a program does something windows doesn't like, DEP(data execution prevention) closes it.
  • mounika · 4 days ago
    Hiii,I did as it is and now it is working perfectly.But am shutting down by DEP for all the essential Windows programs....
    Please let me know
