    I would not recommend disabling it because it is a security risk, but here is how:

    From an elevated (administrator) command prompt:

    DEP - Enable or Disable - Vista Forums

    bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff

    reboot

    How do you know DEP is effecting it? By default in non x64 environments DEP is in Optin mode. Meaning unless that application says it is DEP compatible, DEP is turned off for it.
