Here is a very simple way to turn off DEP
 
- Go to START
 
- Type in CMD but do NOT press enter.
 
- Right click the CMD.exe icon and run as Administrator - verify your command prompt says Windows\System32>
 
- Enter this command exactly as shown
 
                  bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff
 
- You must restart your computer for this to take effect
 
NOTE* In some occasions you must turn off UAC (User Account Control)
 
 
Let's say that for any reason you're ready to turn DEP back on , ok no problem. Same steps but type this-
 
                bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOn
 
- Once again restart for this to take effect.
