Startup crash in Vista

New comment
 
I just made a fresh install of MetaTrader, but it just crashes when I open the terminal, with no helpful error message. Im using Vista, and this never used to happen on XP. Is there something I can do about this?
 
To solve this issue you should enable DEP (Data Execution Prevention) for essential Windows programs and services only:

1. Click with the right mouse button on the 'Computer' link on your desktop and select the 'Properties' item.
2. Select the 'Advanced system settings' item.
3. Go to the 'Advanced' tab.
4. Click the 'Settings' button in the 'Performance' section.
5. Go to the 'Data Execution Prevention' tab.
6. Select the first item ('Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only') and click Ok.
7. Click Ok in the 'System Properties' window and close the 'System' window.
8. Restart operating system.
9. Start MetaTrader 4 Client Terminal.
 
Thanks that worked. You should put that in an FAQ somewhere.
