How to turn on DEP in Windows 7?

[NVIDIAGeek]

I need to turn on DEP to run a program. But it is all greyed out. I'm the Administrator but it still is greyed out. Tried out the CMD line, but that too didn't work. Please help.

Did you run CMD as administrator?If yes what error message did you get?

Data Exceution Prevention settings greyed out

Ive managed to fix it, I found another command to use which none of the sites seem to tell you when telling you how to enable/disable via the command line.

   When enabling:

            bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOn 
              bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx optin

   When disabling:

            bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff

Then restart!

This has worked for x64 and x86, thanks for the members who viewed the thread though.
