Vista 5308: Disable DEP / NoExecute Protection to fix random explorer crashes

I've had it, offft! Vista just keeps on crashing, If you have the same problem I'd relate it to the no execute protection thing, why? the answer will come: "It's a Beta version man! chill out" hehe
hala2 due to the way Windows Vista’s boot editor has been created, it is now harder to disable DEP / No Execute Protection. However, after some amount of googling, it would seem that some of the random Windows Explorer crashes that users are experiencing is caused by this technology. You will need to disable it and reboot, which should cure some of the crashes:
  1. Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, right click on “Command Prompt”, and click “Run as administrator”.
  2. If asked for permission to run Windows Command Processor, click on Allow.
  3. At the command prompt, type in “bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff”.
  4. You should receive a message saying “Operation Completed Successfully”.
  5. Restart the computer, DEP / No Execute should now be disabled.

working smarter and harder

I swear I'm not laying! wala...
I have 2 presentations to deliver, one about Windows Vista Sidebar Gadgets and the other one about Integration between Windows Work Flow Foundation, Office 2007 Server, and Excel 2007 Server!! Don't feel sorry for me at least I like that part, presenting in a forign country, god I miss Jordan, I miss Barnie's, I miss shawerma day3ah! mmm
OK OK now you can cry for me, hehe

Now the horrible truth, I have been training on BizTalk for 2 days now and I can't just figure it out! What is the point?? I guess I'll be able to answer this after fulfilling the training requirements.

Got to get back to my suicide training thing!

Friday, Friday, yep it's Friday!

"wake up laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy", that's the first word you ever hear on a typical Friday morning! hehe that's my aunts voice. In a typical Jordanian family every friday we all gather in a relative house were we have lunch together, picking on family memebers, and wasting the whole day long! On the other hand, it's just a small break from hacking code and being a total GEEK.
back on, so why you wake up late every Friday, combination is very simple, you spend thursday working till 6:00pm, then you go home, have the breakfast, lunch, dinner in one meal, then jump out to the shower, shave, and iron some clothes.. taraaa you are set to go out! I'm not gonna tell you where I hang out, we just met =)
So I came back and left the group of losers I hangout with, now it's time for me to start messing with Vista and WinFX. Yesterday I was playing with the Gadgets SDK, I was that close to deploy a new Gadget and upload it to http://microsoftgadgets.com/ were I found out that I have only 4 days left to activate Vista, and I bet you know the rest..
Finished formatting my notebook around 4:00am and started to install Visual Studio, SQL Server, BizTalk, etc.. and that kept me up to 7:00am "yeah what a fast machine!" anyways I jumped to bed and felt a sleep, but what the heck my aunt was the first to arrive and we go back to "wake up laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy"
Welcome friday!
