Allan I also did some research on the topic of Microsofts DEP and how its
suppose to halt virus code execution. But in fact it also halt the execution
of games from what I read in other forum post for example here's one
http://www.teamati.com/showthread.php?t=1056
DEP halts the games code execution and thinks its a virus which also shuts
down the whole pc crashing it without any prompt warning.
"Data Execution Prevention may accidentally shut down legitimate process
from valid applications or services, particularly third-party installers used
by software developers that release their products for download through the
Web, or software programs that are less commonly used.
NOTE: To make thing worse, DEP normally does not or fails to display or show
any warning or information or acknowledgment message prompt that can let you
know that DEP has shut down a process, thus causing you unaware of the reason
why your setup file cannot run, or why your computer cannot start a service
and etc."
