I do not know much about DEP. My current system has the default Opt In
setting.

A detailed description of the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) feature in
Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005, and
Windows Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875352#5

The question you have to establish is why is it intervening? Are you
running any older software from a previous computer?

How and what are you copying? Please describe in detail? Does it
involve external media e.g. CD / DVD and software like Roxio and the
like?
