I need to install a FM Patcher program so some of my older plug-in will work
in Photo Shop and PSP.
When I installed the patcher I get this error message that I have attached.
FM Patcher is a small application that lets you change Photoshop .8bf
plugins that were created with older versions of FilterMeister in order to
make them work under Windows Vista. Normally developers just need to
recompile their plugins with the latest FilterMeister release to make them
Vista-compatible, but unfortunately some developers abandoned their plugins.
So we decided to create FM Patcher to enable users of these old plugins to
make them work under Vista.

At the moment Fm Patcher does not fix the problem that old FilterMeister
plugins have with activated Data Execution Prevention (DEP). You still need
to deactivate DEP in your control panel or place your graphics application
on the DEP exclusion list.
Where is the DEP and how do I turn it off?
Thank you for any help you can give me.

Click Start/Right Click Computer/Properties/Advanced System
Settings/Performance/Settings: then select your choice of action.

Please let me know if that worked for you.

Notable Changes in Windows Vista Service Pack 1:

Data Execution Protection (DEP) is a memory-protection feature available
beginning with Windows XP and Server 2003. SP1 improves security with a new
set of Win32 APIs to allow programmatic control over a process's DEP policy.
This will provide application developers with finer control on a process's
DEP settings for security, testability, compatibility, and reliability.
