Vista's DEP has always been crap. I've had it disabled since my first computer. Google is your friend.

because its very hard for a normal enduser to disable to the extent of not possible(last i tried, i did notice there is a bios setting for it tho)

First of all, there's no real reason to reply to a likely-solved 2 month old post unless you have some ground breaking reason. Secondly, it's not hard, it's literally two steps, and does not include messing with the BIOS in any way at all.

1. In a command window running as administrator, enter the following bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff
2. Restart your computer
