Appendix – Potential DEP Issue on Windows Vista, Windows 7
or Windows Server2008
(May also apply to other Windows versions)
Microsoft introduced Data Execution Prevention (DEP) into Windows XP SP2. DEP closes down a program
that it suspects has malicious content.
This feature has the potential to prevent Toolbox32 from executing under the false assumption it contains
malicious content.
In most installations this is unlikely to occur, however if it does occur when attempting to run Toolbox32, then
the following link from Microsoft describes the steps to configure Toolbox32 to execute normally.

The procedure is also described in detail below.
*** A copy of this note is stored in the Toolbox32 execution directory, should it be required for future
reference. It may also be found in the Toolbox32 help.
DEP may generate the following error message when Toolbox 32 is run (as observed in Windows Server
2008):
