FIXed ??? Re: Microsoft DEP.

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Microsoft sent me this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/886348/en-us

This is the step I took to fix it and make things go away: At the command
prompt, type the following, and then press ENTER:

SEE MY NOTE BELOW: bootcfg /raw "/noexecute=alwaysoff /fastdetect" /id
1

Note If you have multiple start entries or start options, you may have
to manually modify the Boot.ini file for your computer. To do this, follow
these steps:

a. Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.
b. On the Advanced tab, under Startup and Recovery, click
Settings.
c. In the Startup and Recovery dialog box, click Edit.
d. Change the /noexecute option to the following:
/noexecute=alwaysoff
e. On the File menu, click Save, and then click Exit.
f. Click OK two times.

6. Restart your computer.


Note: this returned an error: bootcfg /raw "/noexecute=alwaysoff
/fastdetect" /id 1. The system responded with a message that you can only
use /ID 1 "ONLY ONCE???"

Anyway, all is well now (or so it seems).

Does anyone know how to remove MS DEP (Data Execution Protection). All of
a sudden this is on my system and has caused nothing but problems.

I couldn't even run PowereDVD (which is a KNOWN safe program).. Once I
configed DEP, I could use things like PowerDVD, WinAmp etc, but still DEP
causes my XP system to crach and burn, particularlly when using things
like DVD nurning apps (Ulead, Pinnacle etc).

This is quite annoying.

Thanks to all...
