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

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 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!

Mark · 9 months ago

Thanks you really helped me out

as_if1992 · 2 months ago

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
