Its on but on my machine its just software based, as opposed to hardware as my processor doesnt support it.

Off, it causes some serious problems with some drivers.  

 /NoExecute=AlwaysOff can often be your friend.

The default settings for windows only, so it shouldnt mess with your drivers [btw I been reating the wiki page on it :mrgreen:]

I would disagree.  My old PC used to crash for fun in games until i turned DEP off totally.  The default setting for windows is /NoExecute=OptIn.  My issue was with the HD Audio drivers.  Turned the DEP off and it flew along without a care i the world forever afterwards.
