How to turn of DEP integration in VB applications?

I've made a web browser in Visual Basic and whenever I try to open up certain sites, Data Execution Protection closes my program... I've tried turning it off for that program under advanced system settings but it says that the program cannot have DEP turned off here.



Thanks a ton!How to turn of DEP integration in VB applications?
DEP is part of the operating system rather than a VB function.

The following page describes how certain applications can be excluded in XP

This may be the page you are referring to.



A better course would be to try and understand why DEP is closing the program.

The following Microsoft articles give information about DEP and what causes an error:

Perhaps download the page using something like FlashGet. that allows you to download individual components like Javascript.



If you do exclude it from DEP then you need to make it a short term measure until you can resolve the problem. As a fellow developer I wouldn't want to use a browser that was corrupting memory which seems to be what DEP protects you from.
