Go to any other computer with Win XP and DEP, do the same test, if it
doesn't have the same issue then your machine is screwed - that's as
simple and non-technical as it can get.


Einstein said "things should be made as simple as possible, but no
simpler" - and then proceded to stick minute and seemingly-irrelevant
factors based on the speed of light into perfectly good Newtonian
equations. They only mattered at extremes that were rare on Earth.

I've got 8 machines I just checked on and we have no problems.


The point is, if his "brand new Dell" is also using a brand new Intel
Pentium 4 with hardware DEP support, and he compares mileage with a
year-old Dell that lacks hardware DEP support, his mileage will vary
alright - but not because his "machine is screwed".
