The other day I was having trouble download a cheat and you told me to change the DEp setting and it worked. Now I found that I couldnt download any cheats at all. SO I reset the DEP to the orginial spot and now I can downlaod cheats. So just in case anyone else has the problem they may have to reset a I did to download cheats and reset again for others. *&^% I just hate it when life gets complicated like this. But thats why we have sticky notes so old people like me can keep up with all this. Now where did I put the sticky notes?
That's the first I heard that one.
Maybe CrazyMan can shed some light on it. I think he was the one who came up with the DEP solution originally
Old crazy will figure it out for sure
who knows, I have DEP pop up all the time when I do things and I have it off. It took me awhile to figure out that DEP was the cause. No one could help me and I couldn't install any of the autos, I could download them, but the setup exe would stop working. I did alot of searching before I found out it was DEP.
As for turning it on or off to download, I have no idea as I could download before and still can now, just couldn't install before and DEP was crashing the installer on purpose.
But, just like you, I figured out my problem and shared it so others could benefit hopefully.
Here is something I found to help people deal with DEP (Data Executuion Prevention)
