(Removing this fixbox since it's extremely shaky - recommending users to disable DEP globally can do more harm than good (most notably, using a DEP whitelist creates those in the first place by making DEP opt-out rather than opt-in), and if those issues really are related to DEP then they would have started showing much sooner, e.g. Windows Vista, not Windows 8. I'd rather not give harmful advice like this, especially since it's [cn].) |
(removed IGDB score (fewer than 4 critics)) |
