Thanks! This actually accomplished my intended task. The other 30 articles I read on this subject were complete crap. Again, thanks.

Thanx!!! Back up and running! Can get the job done now. I want to leave this off, What problems would I encounter,If any?

Ross Wilson · 6 months ago

to reverse this do the same as above but type : bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx OptIn into the command window

Jeff · 6 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 · 6 months ago

Thank you it worked perfectly. God bles your soul. :)

Ali · 6 months ago

i did that but nothing happened !!!!!

craig · 7 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)

Thank you so much! You totally helped me fix my problem. I disable all Google items and then I was able to see the items on the websites I needed to see. No one else seemed able to help me. Thanks again!

hmm "no bcedit found"

orion · 7 months ago

you missed the "d". its bcdedit.exe

Adnan · 7 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 · 11 months ago

Thanks you really helped me out

as_if1992 · 4 months ago

how do i turn it on again?

billscull · 3 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 · 2 months 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 · 1 month 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

rhre;pf · 1 month ago

Frankie · 1 month ago

Turning it off still diddnt work, Im trying to play halo 2 and data execution keeps comming up when i start the game, i called microsoft and they diddnt help cause my warranty ran out, i checked other trobleshooting steps like running the game as admin. or chaging the compatibilty to xp sp2, but halo2 is for vista
i have a home built comp
it has vista premiun 32bit
dont remember wat the m/b is i know its an ecs
umm it has a intel core i5 2.66ghz quad
and corsair xms3 4gb ddr3 memory
320gb samsung hdd
his radeon hd 4670 1gbddr3 videocard
idk wat the problem is but it only does this to vista games like halo2 shadowrun gears of war crysis warhead, crysis works fine

majormatt123 · 3 weeks ago

Is administrator go thre okay rebooted and it still doesent work dep is constantly greyed out with a tick in the box for enable. I am using internet explorer 8 with pack 2 for vista. I hate fucking dep...

malakas2 · 3 weeks ago

FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO GO TO THE DEFAULT DEP!

1) Right click on cmd : Run as Administrator
2) type : bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx Optout
3) Restart pc
4) Everything back :D
5) DONT EVER TRY AGAIN the : nx [AlwaysOff OR AlwaysOn]

Thanks! I hope you all be alright!
