Thanks SYSTEM +Dell R610 -48GB RAM windows server 2008 enterprise all service packs available installed to date (23-01-11)

just add an exclusion through Control Panel > System -> Advance System Setting -> Advanced -> Performance -> Settings -> Data Execution Prevention(DEP) box. hth Gregor Stefka

not that simple it is an enterprise based voip contact centre solution .. mitel contact centre client what i have noticed is even when opening the 32 bit control panel it also bombs out stating that DEP stopped it running affected process windows.exe .. could this possibly be caused by some form of hardware based DEP could not find any literature on dell or intels sites Thanks
