Disable DEP in windows vista

25 July 2009 3,033 views 9 Comments

Service DEP (Data Execution Prevention – Prevention of Data Execution) is a function from the Windows SP2. This function is to prevent malicious script code in certain areas of Windows usually reserved for the storage of non-executable data.Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature that helps prevent damage from viruses and other security threats by monitoring your programs to make sure they use system memory safely.
This feature can be some times annoying as it will close the program or game as soon as you start them..
I had this problem for starting Hitman contract game and it crashed each time i start the game..

here are the steps to turn this thing off,

Open the command prompt with adminitstator privelege by right clicking on : start -> all programs -> accessories -> command prompt.

Enter : bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff and press enter

restart the computer and DEP should be off now.

To re enable DEP repeat above step and run, bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOn in command prompt.
