Disable DEP and PAE (Chinese Star XP on WinXP SP2 Fix)

To disable PAE (Physical Address Extension), add /NOPAE to boot.ini under the [operating systems] section.

To disable DEP (Data Execution Prevention), add /NoExecute=AlwaysOff to boot.ini under the [operating systems] section.

See the sample as follows:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional"/fastdetect /NoExecute=AlwaysOff /NOPAE

After all the modifications, please restart XP to effect all the changes.

You can download the disablepaedep in rar or zip format. Try Google for the file.
