GameHouse Downloads and Sales I changed my data execution settings and my game will not run.
If you have Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) AND you have changed your Data Execution Prevention (DEP) settings, you may experience problems running or starting your game. (If you have NOT changed your default DEP settings before, there is no need to read on as this does not apply to you).
The DEP for SP2 is, by default, turned on only for "essential Windows programs and services only". However, if you have changed this to "All programs and services" (Always On) you may have a problem running or starting your game. You will need to turn this feature back to the default ("Windows programs and services only") to run your game. If you have the processor supported DEP, you may also choose to turn it off completely (Always Off).
