Guest Badger Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Just for a test, reboot in safe mode to see what happens.

Guest FromTheRafters Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Try safe mode. ....and DEP is probably not the problem. Have you installed any software recently? May be a corrupted driver or something similar causing problems? Vista compatibility issues? Post to get help with your problem rather than trying to get help catching 'red herrings' or 'wild geese'. Describe your problem and include relevant information such as what recently changed that may or may not have caused this problem.

Guest Darrell Gorter[MSFT] Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Hello I agree disabling DEP is probably not the best solution. Your system is much less secure with this disabled. I would suggest running msconfig and disabling all the startup items as a beginning.

Guest lilbear67 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 This happened a while back and it was because the registry entry for that user pointed to the wrong desktop folder. I can't remember the exact location of that registry key(s) at the moment or what the default value is (%commonfiles%/..... or something was required for one of them I think). Perhaps one of the MVPs can tell you the default locations for the necessary keys. ~barry "stikiller" <guest@unknown-email.com> wrote in message news:148126cc20ba8c34b2b2139f79e35aa2@nntp-gateway.com...<span style="color:blue"> > > How do I turn Data Execution Prevention off? > people keep telling me how to turn it off for a specific program. i > dont need that. here's the problem: when i turn my computer on all > thats > on my desktop is the background. no start menu, no tool bar at all for > that matter, no icons, nothing but the background. a box pops up that > says that the "data execution program" is on. i close the box and > nothing happens. still nothing on the desktop but the background. how > to > a fix this when i cant even get into the control panel or anything > because its not there!!!!??? > > > -- > stikiller </span> Quote
