Is there any way to disable this? Ive tried the bcedit commands and it does damn all to turn this crap off. Theres options for it in the control panel under "system\advanced\performance options" but theyre all greyed out and it just tells me i have to be an admin and i have to use the bcdedit file. Well i bloody would if the damn thing did anything it seems to apply changes then the program you applied them to still gets shut because of DEP. :mad:
 
Have you tried this:
Disable DEP in Vista:

1. Click Start
2. Click All Programs
3. Click Accessories
4. Right Click on Command Prompt
5. Left click on Run as Administrator
6. Click the Allow button if it asks you for permission
7. Type or copy and paste this into the command prompt window:

bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff

8. Hit enter and you should see the confirmation: Operation Completed Successfully
9. Reboot and DEP should be off.

From here?

Are you running as an administrator account out of interest?
 
Perhaps try running the command in safemode - is DEP closing the CMD after typing the command, I'm not entirely sure from your first post. Is this a new install your working with or is it an old install which has suddenly developed these problems? What applications is DEP closing?

(Sorry will be my last post until morning!)
