    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!

    people are stupid. if you haven't seen the thing at the bottom right of your screen that says the operation could not be performed or something like that. you do not have a DEP problem. if you click on those little bubbles when they pop up windows WILL actually tell you what is going on. look it up people.

    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 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)

    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?

    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?
