Do you realize what you've just lost? This is supported at the processor level and you WANT it.

Data Execution Protection (or the No Execute aka NX bit) is there to prevent applications from modifying memory that has executable code in it. A relatively easy attack is to find a buffer overrun in some string handler in a commonly installed application, like an HP or Epson printer driver, Flash, etc. If I can figure out in a debugger that their app is actually modifying its source code in some way, then I can just manipulate the inputs to get it modify its executable code in such a way that it will point at my input value, which is actually the source for an exploit. If DEP/NX it turned on, then applictions are prevented from modifying the memory allocated for code and thus this class of exploit is not prevented on the machine.

Oh, there is no mechanism to disable DEP for a 64-bit process, which is almost every built-in app in Windows on a 64-bit version of XP, Vista, or Win7. WMP, IE, and a couple others actually run 32-bit versions by default for compatibility reasons.

How about somebody just answering the question. I have a similar problem and this forum just wasted a lot of time not giving an answer - just everybody asking the same question over and over and a bunch of "maybe" answers, none of which work. My DEP will not turn on or off. It gives the same window as mentioned except none of the settings will stay. None of the changes to the boot.ini do anything. Turning on or off the reporting service does not stop this from happening. There are no viruses or adware detected with any softwares used.
The question is how to eliminate DEP - not how to turn it off. Nothing in the BIOS says the board or chip has it by any name. This just started in the middle of some work without any internet connection. The programs had been installed and running for months fine. This is not on a network machine. It does not take in data - it is a production machine, disconnected from everything.

Trying to get JInitiator for Oracle to launch an external application.
I found the tip about changing the boot.ini file to be the most useful.
NoExecute=OptIn should be changed to NoExecute=AlwaysOff

What about in the case where when an item is added, MS says that item cannot be excluded.

Frustrated with Microsoft! — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 17:54:06 -0000

I had problems with running the program Anonymizer, each browser I used along with it was shut down by the DEP, tried adding the exception with no luck. Till I followed these instruction by Anonymous... rebooted, ran Anonymizer and the browers and it worked perfectly! Thank you very much.
BTW why does windows screw up with DEP being so incompatible with so MANY programs. Before launching new programs like Vista, FIRST make sure previous Windows versions are working smoothly, thats what you rake in the millions for so do your JOBS properly. We should not have to search sites like these to FIX there mistakes.

I recommend you do not remove it. Just change the boot.ini file so DEP does not execute. Instructions are above.

Are you using IE? Looking through the comments list, you can see several people having trouble with IE and DEP. Try Firefox. If the problem persists, you might have to stop DEP from running. See above for instructions.
