Re: Audition3 Vista "Data Execution Prevention" Issue

Hold a second while I switch hats. Ok, audio production hat switched with IT admin hat.

First I recommend you verify which mode DEP is currently running in.

1. Right-click "My Computer" -> click properties
2. Click "System Protection" on the left-hand side
3. Click the "Advanced" tab at the top of the window that opens
4. Click "Settings" within the "Performance" section
5. Click the "Data Execution Prevention" tab on the new window
6. Verify that DEP is set to "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only"
7. Click "Ok" on the open windows and try to launch Audition again.

If you're still having the problem, you can turn off DEP entirely and see if the application will function then.

1. Start -> All Programs -> Right-Click "Command Prompt" -> Click "Run As Administrator"
2. Type the following (without the quotations): "bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff"
3. Try launching Audition now.
4. If you decide to turn DEP back on, here's the command for that: "bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOn"


I hope that helps. If you don't mind, please post the result one way or the other. I'm sure everyone would be interested to see what happens.
