We had a couple of brand new systems in IT that were getting the Blue Screen of Death whenever Real Secure Desktop Protection was being installed. After researching the issue I found the problem to be a new feature that Windows XP SP2 offers but is seldom enabled called DEP (Data Execution Prevention). The two systems that were affected were Gateway e-4300s that were shipped from Gateway last week. Below are instructions on how to disable DEP on a system (This is not Gateway specific).
1. Boot to safe mode and log into system. 2. Right Click on my computer and click on Properties 3. Click on the advanced tab. For the startup and recovery area click on settings. 4. Click Edit to Edit the boot.ini file 5. Under the operating systems section modify the highlighted section below. We are changing the text from saying /noexecute=optin to /noexecute=alwaysoff ------------------------------------ University of Northern Colorado Vegter, Chris Network Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Carter Hall 2012 Campus Box 19 Greeley, CO 80639 tel: 970-351-1407 ------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ ISSForum mailing list [email protected] TO UNSUBSCRIBE OR CHANGE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, go to https://atla-mm1.iss.net/mailman/listinfo/issforum To contact the ISSForum Moderator, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The ISSForum mailing list is hosted and managed by Internet Security Systems, 6303 Barfield Road, Atlanta, Georgia, USA 30328.
