You can disable or turn off Data Execution Prevention (DEP) globally in Windows Vista. To stop the DEP protection, launch an elevated command prompt shell with administrative priviledges and credentials (log on to Windows Vista with a user account with administrator rights, and then right click on Command Prompt icon and select 鈥淩un as Administrator, or turn off UAC). Then execute the following command:



bcdedit.exe /set %26#123;current%26#125; nx AlwaysOff



If you regret your decision and now want to enable or turn back on the DEP protection, simply use the following command instead:



bcdedit.exe /set %26#123;current%26#125; nx AlwaysOn
