For those using Vista in any of it's many flavors you may get errors that look similiar to this:

This is the error message I got, in and ADEPT Key box:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "adeptkey.pyw", line 197, in main
retrieve_key(keypath)
File "adeptkey.pyw", line 139, in retrieve_key
vendor = cpuid0()
File "adeptkey.pyw", line 102, in cpuid0
cpuid0__(buffer)
WindowsError: exception: access violation writing 0x01A3E5F8

When I tried the second, I got:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "adeptkey.pyw", line 198, in main
retrieve_key(keypath)
File "adeptkey.pyw", line 140, in retrieve_key
vendor = cpuid0()
File "adeptkey.pyw", line 103, in cpuid0
cpuid0__(byref(buffer))
WindowsError: exception: access violation writing 0x019B1E30

This is DEP acting to keep your system safe from a program Vista has deemed rogue. DEP is data execution protection. You can find out more about it here: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...2f4bf1033.mspx

The solution is to tell the system you trust pythonw and python. It will then allow these scripts to run as they should. See my post here for how to do this, substituting pythonw.exe and python.exe as appropriate.
