JsWolf,

Ok, thats great you turned of UAC, however, there are many out here that just might like to keep that extra layer of protection in place. DEP is a good technology, and if properly used will allow users of Vista to allow programs which were not designed to run specifically under Vista's new api to function correctly.

Actually, many turn UAC off prematurely when an exception made in DEP would allow an errant program to run just fine.

My advice to all would be to ALWAYS try an exception in DEP for an errant program before resorting to disabling of UAC. Just my two cents.
