This stupid thing is constantly freezing up my computer, showing error messages and no matter which seeting I have tried to put it on it doesn't make a bit of difference. I hate it!!!

I read about turning DEP off except for some programs, but I do not know which ones are secure. All I have had is problems (it seems since I installed IE8, which stops running a lot). Now this DEP things showing up, unable to print photos or upload photos. Can't stand it. Should I switch to Firefox?

We have have managed to shut down DEP but we still cannot open my photo folders. These are stored on an external drive, but that should make no dofference, IMHO. Switching to Firefox isn't the solution. I use Firefox and the problem is exactly the same.

Put me n the same boat. i can't use or close out of the internet without getti the Dep error prompt. this didnt start happeneing until I installed Ie8. now I have to shut down compute with webpages open to keep pcfrom freezing up

This has not helped me in the slightest. It's so annoying I just the damn thing off my computer.It shuts down every single internet page I use! So how on earth can I stop that?

I get the DEP error message everytime I close IE. I tried to adjust the DEP settings, but that has not helped.

My problem is when I go to a newspaper site- the error message appears. Sometime it closes and sometimes it doesn't. I'm set as "Turn on DEP for Esential...." and this is how it was set when I first noticed it. I don't know where to exclude news sites.

I try to shut down internet explorer and dep wont allow me to i try turning it off and it still does it. I want it gone!!!!!! Drives me mad!!!

followed instructions as above... when i go into DEP tab and click turn off, nothing comes up in the box for me t click on 'client' n i dont what t add.... how can i just stop this completly? it dint used t happen before i had t do 'fix my computer' afte constant blue screen... pls help. thank you.

To really turn this off. Click on start tab. Right click my computer. Click properties.Click advanced. Click startup and recovery settings. Click edit. where it says /NoExecute=optin,optout,or allwayson TYPE THIS /NoExecute=AllwaysOff Now click file and click save. Make sure to click ok when exiting the open windows. Restart computer and PRESTO FINALLY GONE NO MORE BS!!!
