10. Click Open
11. Click Apply

13. Reboot
I tried that already... without effect.

That's why I'm wondering if there isn't some way to turn that damn Windows Data Execution Prevention protocol off altogether. As in to kill it completely.

I'm tempted, but I've grown rather fond of my old (PC only) programs in much the same way that I like my favorite beers

The odd thing here is that I have three other computers, all with the same Windows XP OS and all the same main programs (the latter all installed from the same discs) and two of the PC's have this Data Prevention issue and two don't.

Unfortunately of the two PC's without the issue, one is on it's last legs and the other is woefully under-powered for video editing.
