Hi, If a program is failing and you want to disable DEP to see if that is the cause. Here are the steps. (Just disable DEP for the program in question don’t disable it for your whole system.) 1. Click Start 2.
Select Control Panel 3. Select System 4. Click the Advanced tab 5. In the Performance region select Settings 6. Click the Data Execute tab in the dialog box that opens 7. Select Turn on DEP for all programs and services except for those I select 8.
May 4, 2013 - I have a gigaware usb controller, that i'm trying to use on my laptop which. And then try to download and install the latest driver for the device.
The open dialog box will open. Browse and select your application. Click Open 11. Click Apply 12.
Reboot Hope this helps:) Season's Greetings! Chris (ziraffa) Posted on Dec 24, 2008.
Hi again, In the DEP part, you turn on all DEP apart from what you are specifying. Now, you don't look for the controller, you look for the emulator you are using such as ePSXe or the game or whatever, and then make sure you run the emulator or the game as administrator. The point of this is so that the controller can now be configured/calibrated from within the emulator or game, when it could not be before. This is a thing to try after you have realised that it is not possible to calibrate the controller using the emulator/game. Let's start from the beginning: So you plugged in the controller.
And downloaded and installed the drivers for it, restarted, and it then read the USB device and now appears in device manager? And says Device is working properly? So then you would have wanted to Calibrate the controller, and would have gone to Control Panel Game Controllers Double Click the Controller Calibrate. After doing this, does the gamepad respond when you launch a game? If yes, then all is good.
If not, then you would then open ePSXe (or whatever emulator), go to config, then gamepad and try to configure the controller there. If you can, then all is good.
But if it still doesnt respond when you try to set the buttons, then we have to work out whether the problem is with the emulator or with the controller. And this is why we would turn off Data Execution Prevention for the emulator.
Because we would then attempt to calibrate the controller and play a game again, and if the controller still didn't work, then there is no problem with the emulator, but with the controller. In which case it probably means the controllers usb drivers haven't been installed properly, or they were drivers for the wrong controller, or something like that. So, you are basically working out if DEP is the cause of the emulator not working, to isolate if that is the root cause of why you can't calibrate your controller. I know it's a pain to get your head round, and it's also difficult to explain clearly without getting lost in all the jargon, but just do each step at a time and I'm sure you'll get there in the end. Good Luck:) Chris (ziraffa) Hi again, In the DEP part, you turn on all DEP apart from what you are specifying.

Many recent processors support hardware-enforced DEP.
Both Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Intel Corporation have defined and shipped Windows-compatible architectures that are compatible with DEP. This processor support may be known as NX (no-execute) or XD (execute disable) technology.
To determine whether your computer's processor supports hardware-enforced DEP, contact the manufacturer of your computer. Hardware-enforced DEP must be enabled in the BIOS. On some computers, you can disable processor support for hardware-enforced DEP in the BIOS. You must not disable this support. Depending on your computer manufacturer, the option to disable this support may be labeled 'Data Execution Prevention,' 'XD,' 'Execute Disable,' or 'NX.' .
The computer must have Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 installed. Note Both 32-bit versions and 64-bit versions of Windows support hardware-enforced DEP.
Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 and Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 include all the features and components of Windows XP SP2. Hardware-enforced DEP must be enabled for programs on the computer.
In 64-bit versions of Windows, hardware-enforced DEP is always enabled for 64-bit native programs. However, depending on your configuration, hardware-enforced DEP may be disabled for 32-bit programs. To enable or disable Data Execution Prevention (DEP) In windows XP,. Log in as administrator. Open the Start menu, right-click on My Computer and Choose ' Properties' from the context menu. On the ' System Properties' window, click the ' Advanced' tab. click settings button under Performance.
click the ' Data Execution Prevention' tab. choose either ' Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select:' or ' Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only to select the OptIn policy'. If you choose ' Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select:', click Add to add the programs that you do not want to use the DEP feature. Click OK twice. Restart the computer for the changes to take effect I hope that you find this information helpful. Mar 03, 2011. You can disable DEP by following these steps: Disable Data Execution Prevention (DEP) completely.
Click Start, and then click Control Panel. Under Pick a category, click Performance and Maintenance.
Under or Pick a Control Panel icon, click System. Click the Advanced tab, and in the Startup and Recovery area, click Settings. In the SystemStartup area, click Edit.
In Notepad, click Edit and then click Find. In the Find what field, type /noexecute and then click Find Next. In the Find dialog box click Cancel. Replace the policylevel (for example, 'OptIn' default) with 'AlwaysOff' (without the quotes). WARNING: Be sure to enter the text carefully.
Your boot.ini file switch should now read: /noexecute=AlwaysOff. In Notepad, click File and then click Save. Click OK to close Startup and Recovery. Click OK to close System Properties and then restart your computer. This setting does not provide any DEP coverage for any part of the system, regardless of hardware DEP support. Verifying DEP is Disabled.

Verify that the DEP settings are unavailable and then click OK to close Performance Settings. Click OK to close System Properties then close Performance and Maintenance. Sabharish Jun 03, 2009. Windows xp has DEP ( data execution prevention ) some viruses etc use that sort of technique and from SP2 onwards I believe it was they included it.
Several OSs have no-execute or execute protection. Microsoft has added this as well in SP2 with data execution prevention (DEP). This precents code execution in memory regions already marked as storage.
This is a powerful tool against buffer overrun exploits. If a program is failing and you want to disable DEP to see if that is the cause. Here are the steps. (Just disable DEP for the program in question don’t disable it for your whole system.) 1.
Click Start 2. Select Control Panel 3. Select System 4. Click the Advanced tab 5. In the Performance region select Settings 6. Click the Data Execute tab in the dialog box that opens 7. Select Turn on DEP for all programs and services except for those I select 8.
The open dialog box will open. Browse and select your application. Click Open 11. Click Apply 12. Reboot May 10, 2009. Hi, You don't (and can't) disable DEP for the controller (a gamepad controller isn't an application, it's a device which uses a driver, Data Execution Protection applies to applications ie.exe files), it's the game or emulator you disable DEP for, so that you the game can run, completely free of security bindings, and then you would be able to go into the game configuration menu and select your gamepad, and calibrate it. Calibrating means the game detects you gamepad and applies the specific functions to each button.
One way to be sure is to disable DEP for everything, then install a game, and THEN plug in your gamepad. Then start the game/emulator and go to the configuration menu within the game/emulator and set up the gamepad calibration in there. If it doesn't work, then you haven't installed the drivers for the gamepad properly, or haven't installed the correct driver.
Before doing any of that, you would have checked in Control Panel and Gamepad Controllers, double clicked the Gamepad in the list and pressed Calibrate, to enable generic gamepad functionality. If you hadn't done that, do so now. If it still doesn't work, then NOW disable the DEP (either all DEP or for the game/emulator you want to play).
Unplug the Gamepad and load up a game. Then plug the game pad in.
Set up the gamepad from within the game/emulator config menu, which differs from game to game, of course, but is more or less the same. If it doesn't work. Re-install the correct driver for the gamepad.
Also make sure your operating system is fully updated and you're plugging the gamepad into a usb2.0 port. And have rebooted after installing the gamepad usb driver. That's everything you need to know. Chris (ziraffa) Dec 27, 2008. If a program is failing and you want to disable DEP to see if that is the cause. Here are the steps.
