My system is 4.5 years old. Self built with XP bought
last year. Athlon XP 1.4Ghz, 750MB SDRAM...
In the last 2 months when installing XP fresh, the installer
upgraded, and now it installs something called DEP (Data
Execution Prevention), which is supposed to prevent IE/OE
from the Data Execution holes. The only problem is that DEP
also kills any Application or service which loads on boot
and uses data extraction to verify operation. This causes
the system to freeze.
When i press the reset/restart button, sometimes the system
also hangs, as if the BIOS also took a hike.
The million dollar question for a mvp is What does this
switch, found in boot.ini, do -- /NOEXECUTE=optin ?
All other item appear to be normal.
