Data Execution Protection is a feature of Windows XP SP2,
Windows 2003 Server SP1 and all 64-bit editions of Windows.
Its purpose is to help prevent damage to your system through
viruses and other malicious programs by disabling their
access to memory locations that only Windows and other
programs should be allowed to use.

When DEP is enabled on a computer, it may interfere with
System Five, S5Poll, or S5Standalone if the company uses the
multi-currency feature.

Open System Properties by clicking Start, click 
Control Panel, and then double-click System:
