EMET Issues with DEP

Hello brewmaster, and welcome to Seven Forums.

If DEP is grayed out and EMET is not installed, then DEP would be disabled.

DEP - Enable or Disable

If that's the case, then DEP shouldn't be causing an issue with the program. What error message are you getting when trying to install Easycap?

If you have a 64-bit processor, then it may have a no execute (NX bit) feature that behaves like DEP giving you the warning instead.

Either way, if the program is tripping this, I'd be a bit concerned about trying to install it. If you truly feel that it's a legit program, then you would be best to contact the developer to see what they have to say about this as well.

Have a look for an entry like this. The version number might be different.



EDIT: If you don't see it then it's not installed. If you think that it's somehow still running - install it again then remove it. See the post below this one.

Also try right-clicking Start button> Properties> Taskbar> Notification Area> Customize.

Then check for EMET in the list and set it to display (if hidden)

Once EMET is shown in the system tray - double click the icon.

Choose Add Wildcard and type the path to the executable but there's no need to add the whole path.

Example:

To add Cyberfox.exe

Default path is "C:\Program Files\Cyberfox\Cyberfox.exe"

All you need to add to EMET using a wildcard is to type the following:

*\Cyberfox\Cyberfox.exe

However check your settings as I reckon that you need to configure as shown here:



Then manually add apps as shown above when you install them.

No, not running in the background but modified system settings that still exist after removing EMET. See if you have an EMET icon in the systray, a gray/black lock. See my avatar picture for example.

EMET disables the DEP settings from System Properties so you can't change it anymore. Instead it's controlled by the system wide settings in EMET. You could try installing EMET again and change profile to the Recommended security setting. Recommended settings is probably "Opt In" x 3. Reboot and then uninstall EMET.

brewmaster,

Check to see if you see the EMET icon below in your notification area on the right side of your taskbar by the time like below. If you have it, then double click on it to open EMET.



When EMET opens, click on the Apps icon on the toolbar like below.



Look to see if the .exe file for Easycap is listed. If so, either remove it, or uncheck all it's options, and click on OK.



Hope this helps, :)

Not really. EMET could still show up in your recent items, but still be uninstalled.

If EMET isn't listed in your Programs and Features like Callender posted above, then EMET is not installed.

Were you able to check using the tutorial I posted above to make sure that DEP is enabled?

If you like, go ahead and post any screenshots where you see EMET at and the error you get with Easycap to see if it may help.

Well if it just shows up as a past item in the notification area then you can remove the icon like this:

Notification Area Icons - Reset

You could also try running this before attemptimg to reinstall EMET as it might just fix your DEP issues anyway.

DEP Fixit:

Personally I'd install EMET and configure it as shown by Brink but if you'd rather not use it it's your choice!

The system tray/ notification area is the same thing and is where you see running program icons near the bottom right of your screen.
