+ Show Spoiler + Data Execution Prevention is a security feature that can be a bit of a pain at times. Often things will simply appear not to run at all; hopefully you will notice a bubble from the taskbar letting you know that DEP is the cause. If Vista (and actually this has been around since Windows Server 2003) sees that a process is being spawned that "could" be unwanted, DEP shuts it down. This is especially common in some application installations: if a Windows Installer setup (MSI) calls an executable in Vista, DEP could very well put a stop to it. If you are trying to run an installation or other executable being stopped by DEP, it could save you some trouble so turn it off while you attempt to give it another shot… Run a command prompt as administrator. From the start menu, select "All Programs", then "Accessories" and right-click on the "Command Prompt" shortcut and choose "Run As Administrator". From here you can use the following command to disable Data Execution Prevention (DEP) with the following command: bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff Keeping your command prompt open, run your setup or other process being stopped by DEP. Then, to turn it back on again, do the same and run the following: bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOn Got this from http://www.realtime-vista.com/administration/2007/04/disabling_data_execution_preve.htm One of the comments says that "bcdedit.exe /set nx AlwaysOn" is all that's necessary and that you don't need "{current}". Not sure what the difference is. Also, turn off UAC in Control Panel, it's such a huge pain in the ass. | ||

Because 64bit suks big time and nobody needs 8gigs of RAM But yeah, starcraft works perfectly for me on 32bit vista, i havent had any problems yet Psh only 8 nub Vista ultimate is like XP pro 128gb on ram lol. I use my 8 gigs all the time 2 gigs is just in start up programs T_T. I also do heavy amounts of encoding and i don't like to lay it on disk. | ||
