Howard, I've enabled DEP on my system, and the programs I know to have trouble do properly report BEX errors, so I know DEP is getting raised appropriately. I've also confirmed with wmic that all the settings reflect its enabled, with a value of True, 3, as you did. I went ahead

For Windows Vista, there is an option under "System Properties" -> "Performance Options" to change the settings of DEP. On my system, it was set to be enable for essential Windows programs only. When I change it to be active for all programs, I sitll don't see it raising any DEP error for hugin.
