I have tried to disable DEP a few times but when I enter the command it says "The boot configuration data store could not be opened , Access denied" Help Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mine said the same thing

so how do I re-enable this? change it to alwayson?

remember, first open the command prompt by "run as admin". then type in bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx optin

Is DEP the confirmation thing? if so it doesnt work, i cant get my damn homeworld 2 to work no nmatter what i do D:

Pro-Tip: Doesn't work with SP1

vistax64 with intel processors, cannot disable DEP and trust me I have used every hack I could find on the net I need suggestions plz

yeahhhhhhhh - it works ;o))))

thx a lot !

{WORKING FIX}

tried everything..... Mines fixed now, sympathys to all whose isnt .... My advice.. boot in safe mode, search for "system restore" choose a point taht it 1 week + from when it started to skrew up....and hopfully your as lucky as i was...and it fixes it. Good LUCK@!@!@$#$@$

I did it all BUT IT DOESN'T WORK , i'm going crazy damn !!!!

I've DEP shutting down my spooler so that the printer does not work. I no longer get the message on start up but the spooler is always off. This in XP though. What has suddenly started this? I cannot get the spooler to start manually either. Bit of a drag as you can usually print your help before starting the fix, I have to write everything down!

thnks u r awesome i was trying to solve this problem for so long days finally i got it solved
yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

guys, it really didn't help for me, I really think to use XP now instead Vista and wait till it will be more stable.

people are stupid. if you haven't seen the thing at the bottom right of your screen that says the operation could not be performed or something like that. you do not have a DEP problem. if you click on those little bubbles when they pop up windows WILL actually tell you what is going on. look it up people.

hi i really have problems on this one and i follow what you said already but it says there that bcedit.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command

please help me on this

it would really be a pleasure iof you can help me

bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff

make sure its B C D edit

cheers

Yeah. It works but be sure you run command prompt as admin.

/////I have tried to disable DEP a few times but when I enter the command it says "The boot configuration data store could not be opened , Access denied" Help Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!/////

same problem here.....

Not very useful. I did it but to no avail: caused more trouble. I reinstalled avgfree and ran a disc check on C drive which solved my problem.

hmm "no bcedit found"

you missed the "d". its bcdedit.exe

i know this might be an easy fix but i turned off DEP because it was blocking a program and the DEP is still stopping it from running. any ideas?

I had same problem with Vista Home running IE8. I disabled Google Toolbar add-ons and all is OK now. (Right click Internet explorer, select start IE without Add-Ons - if this works you can then go to Manage Add-Ons and disable individual ones. I disabled the most recently intalled ones and by a process of elimination discovered that it was Google Toolbar and Google Findbar which were the cause of the problem)

i did that but nothing happened !!!!!

Thank you it worked perfectly. God bles your soul. :)

I typed in the command in the command prompt and it disabled DEP but the program it kept blocking still doesn't work. Do you know what I can do to get the program working?

to reverse this do the same as above but type : bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx OptIn into the command window

When I run the command i get:

"The boot configuration could not be opened. The maximum number of secrets that may be stored in a single system has been exceeded."

Any ideas on that?

Got the same thing. Just another in long line of P.O.S. Vista problems..

Thanx!!! Back up and running! Can get the job done now. I want to leave this off, What problems would I encounter,If any?

Thanks! This actually accomplished my intended task. The other 30 articles I read on this subject were complete crap. Again, thanks.

this does not work for me.
I always end up getting, access denied.
Can someone please help?!
