Hi

With reference to SP2 (any build), I have SP2 RC1 2096 installed and I have just read on another forum about a new feature called DEP (Data Execution Prevention) which is accessed by right-clicking on System/Properties/Advanced/Performance settings and there you will see a tab for DEP. This new feature seems really good but when I click on the tab, all the settings are 'grayed-out'.

After going into the HELP file, it turns out that if the settings are unavailable, then you microprocessor does not support DEP software.

My CPU is an Intel 2.40C Ghz 800Mhz P4 and I find it pretty strange that the most famous and most used CPU around, does not support DEP.

Any input on this would be appreciated.

Regards
