Has anyone else had this problem. I have added numerous programs to the DEP exception list to make them work and they all worked fine. The problem is, now that i have uninstalled a lot of these programs they don't need to be on the DEP list anymore but it won't let me remove them. I click remove and the program disappears and then i click apply and leave the menu but even after a restart the items just reappear. I am using Vista Home Premium. Any ideas?

Try to turn dep off before you remove http://www.vistax64.com/tutori.....grams.html

PS. I would appreciate if you could share your experience with DEP because I was considering using it - at least for IE.

I still cannot remove the items from the list. They are mainly games that one of my family has downloaded from msn games, trial versions. The games are now uninstalled but they won't remove from the DEP list no matter what i try. The strange thing is i tried removing some of my programs from the list that are still on the computer and they stayed removed. So is it something to do with uninstalling them before removing them from the DEP list that stops them being removed?

Solved the problem. Don't know why but it won't let me remove programs from the DEP exception list after i have uninstalled them. I just had to reinstall every program in the list and then remove them from the list and uninstall them all again. Note to others just in case you have the same problem, remove programs from the DEP exception list before uninstalling them, you'll save yourself a lot of time.
