As I recall this is on by default. Are you using Vista SP1? DEP is, by default, in 'opt-out' mode. However, if a process' executable is compiled with the /NXCOMPAT linker option, it opts in and you can't do anything about it. The problem is that the thunks in ATL 3.0 are allocated with the window object itself - they're members of the structure. The heap that ATL creates is not marked to allow execution Hi Mike, Thanks for replying! I am not using SP1, just using ultimate edition of Vista! Dont know the same thing works for the plugin dll build in VS 2005. but not with VC++ 6.0??? Do we have some compiling or linking options that we can set while building the DLL so that it will not be blocked by DEP when running Windows Mail?? Thanks! dolly, N,IN

Me too - I am the only user, and admin, but still... I have Vista sussed - apart from a few driver issues (maybe - in fact I have no issues there but I know ithers do) you can solve all Vista problems by turning off UAC. Which, to all outward intents and purposes turns it back into XP, which most of us survived quite happily on for years. Don't believe all this security nonsense. Just stay away from dodgy porn sites and don't open spam email and you'll be fine. It's like little old ladies being afrtad to go out for fear of being mugged... go outside, granny, you'll be fine. Just don't talk to starnge men! Talking of email security I am amazed that still, in Outlook, the reading pane is turned on in the Inbox by default. That has got to be a security risk, surely? I turn mine off and delete anything with a suspect subject line there before dragging it into another folder ("My Inbox") for reading. UAC sucks, and that's and end to it.

As I noted in the original message, the program displays characters "correctly" under previous operating systems and behaves differently under Vista.

is the dll properly registered? (Not only copy the dll to the system):~ Greetings from Germany

the internet settings of the IE/PC? Or do have a firewall policy where the PCs are regulated? Greetings from Germany

..turns out to have been the IDE CD/DVD drive. Replaced it with a serial one and now all is fine.... I am sure there is an explanation somewhere...

Hi Mike, Thanks for replying. I've come across your article previously. At the moment I just have a blank glass area the same size as in WMP. What I can't figure out how to do is add buttons that look the same as in WMP/Windows Photo Gallery. Thank you, Adrian

you register you one console Application to SCM,become a service; while this can Run All Session; you service must monitor you anther Application is Active any time! your service invokes another Application Use process "winlogon.exe" token And Current Session! while user logoff,you Appclication will receive system brodcast message,in that case you Application Killed itself! your service Start one new Application in other Session!

you can test press key F9 when system starts! select start device from!

You could in Windows 98, but not in XP. IE 7 completely removes this, as well as Vista. However, you can create a file Explorer uses to pimp out folders. It forgot what was it called. I'd been called 'ugly', 'pug ugly', 'fugly', 'pug fugly' but never 'ugly ugly'. - Moe Szyslak

Hi!! If you have logged in as Administrator and right clicking the service the you should get start option highlighted and other options grayed (which is I am getting.). If you think it is related to UAC then please refer the dam good articles of Jaisvar. I am forwarding the link. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/vista-security/VistaSessions.aspx[^] Please go through it. It had helped me a lot... With regards, Vaibhav Deshpande.
