the only problem i get with DEP is MSN live messenger. you open it, and 5 minutes later, it shuts down...if that...

is there a way to make msn immune to DEP? it cannot be on the exceptions list for some odd reason. if there is a DEP-compatible version, can someone please email me a link at [email address removed] please?

The best part is my first course of action was to complain to Microsoft since I am sure it was activated on my last update and you can't even post a complaint it nails you with DEP warnings. Good information, it is important to know that some programs are not allowed to run without DEP. Firefox being one, I understand how this is meant to help prevent a lot of problems but it is making my online experience a hassle. Now I have adjusted my settings but they will not take affect until I restart......I should have seen that coming!!!!

The DEP errors have caused me a lot of problems. I am a IT contractor working at a client's site and having many DEP errors has caused me many problems in front of my client. I need help getting this DEP feature turned off.

On Vista, when I go to Computer, properties, there is a tab for Advanced system Settings, not Advanced, system, settings. they are NOT separate tabs. When I choose Advanced System Settings, Performance in NOT listed. I looked this up on Mocrosoft's website and the directions are the same as yours. Both are wrong. Under Performance (In another section)there is nothing about DEP. I don't want to eliminate it, I just want to set some controls on it. What do I do this on Vista?

I was having this problem with several websites. I installed Java, download it from the Sun Microsystems site, http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/widget/jdk_javafx.jsp.

All of my problems went away.

I use Vista home premium. In a recent update from Microsoft DEP started sending up error messages anytime I closed an explorer. I don't mind the program, I just wish it would quit telling me what I already know. "Internet explorer has ceased functioning" I know this because I closed it. How do I get rid of this annoying message without losing the program.
