You can supposedly turn it off for applications, but as far as Microsoft's OS code is concerned it's always on as opposed to XP which has that option. The fix unfortunately is Win7 which seems to have revised code for DEP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18762813.post-64008934193147542682010-05-13T06:02:27.861+03:002010-05-13T06:02:27.861+03:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18762813.post-72797614189071802522010-05-09T22:58:32.961+03:002010-05-09T22:58:32.961+03:00Daniel-

But You can make windows bypass DEP for every program here are the steps(for vista and 7):<br /><br />-Right Click on Computer and then click Properties<br /><br />-Then click Advanced System Settings<br /><br />-Click on the Advanced tab then click on Settings on the Performance box<br /><br />-Go to tab Data Execution Prevention<br /><br />-Click on the second dot where says "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select<br /><br />-Now click on add, then add the FS9.exe and FSX.exe in there<br /><br />Now it should all be great.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00456362654858269227noreply@blogger.com
