Vista DEP problems

As you know I have been playing with Vista since it RTM'd a while back. Vista has some great new security features which in the long term will be great. However, until manufacturers start shipping programs designed to deal with them you may find these get in the way. A major one of these is the DEP (Data Execution Protection) that is on by default. This has stopped several of my programs running. Luckily there is a way to turn this off for now:

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

Seems to work a treat....
