It should really only be a factor if in fact you have application
programs running where program code is running in an address range
that is defined as being for data only, not program code.

This type of behavior is most commonly found with hacker penetrations
and/or virus infestations.

Good luck

System Properties->Advanced->Performance Settings->D.E.P.

If you know the problem executable, create an exception for it only.

If after all the warnings people have given you, you still want to turn DEP
off and not figure out what the real cause of the problem is it can be done
in the boot.ini file. Be careful editing boot.ini. If you change the wrong
thing your computer won't boot up. See the following link for how to
configure DEP.

You have to untick the read only attribute for boot.ini first.

To disable DEP by modifying the Boot.ini file, change the /noexecute policy level to alwaysoff.
/NoExecute=AlwaysOff
