Are you running the version I posted earlier in this thread?

@racingstefan

the 'open with' option in windows seems to overrule easywad. you can delete it like this
goto
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.wad
and delete the .wad folder

@kewll_fever
try turning off your antivirus and try again to see if it works

Sounds like a corrupted installation or missing files. What error message do you get when you try to open Slimtex?

Hum, I'm having the same issue. I just get this when trying to run Slimtex. [dl.dropbox.com]

Ive treid reinstalling and updating, and the updater from the version i got from gp4db seemsed to get stuck in a look, there was always a new version (i updated at least 4-5 times in this loop..) I then tried "ZAZ TOOLS FINAL.zip" from the CSM support forum and no the updater wont even run :(

I've tried compatability mode, run as admin, everything..

Run cmd.exe in Administrator mode and then enter this

bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff

You must reboot for the changes to work.
If that doesn't solve the issue you can undo the change with 'AlwaysOn'

Thanks Zaz, however I left data execution prevention on for all applications but added slimtex as an exception (which doesn't require a reboot - yay), working fine now :)

Thanks,
Wills

AlwaysOff – DEP is disabled for all processes
AlwaysOn – DEP is enabled for all processes
OptIn – DEP is enabled for Windows system components and services (this is the default setting)
OptOut – DEP is enabled for all processes except for those Administrators identified

With OptIn you don't have have to use an exclude list for normal programs.
This is the setting windows is installed with by default. AlwaysOn might cause quite some programs to stop working (correctly)

Edit: Sorry, my bad. Seem's it only works if you force it completely off as you suggested zaz.
Thanks,
Wills

Yep, same problem same error message.
Win 7 64 bit loaded to program files (x86) when I first loaded Win 7 I did not bother with hidden administrator because it didn’t seem necessary.
So I added the command line alwaysOff and Slimtex worked then I changed it to optout it still worked.
And yesterday it doesn’t, everything is working except Slim & Updater.
I have an outdated Tools version on Vista 32 Slimtex works on that machine.

Re: Edit, I’m at work at lunch, I’ll try alwaysOff again later, I didn’t try that again last night.

OptIn should always work. there's no real need for AlwaysOff.
Maybe you have some antivirus program that switches it to AlwaysOn or OptOut every update without you noticing?

To check you can run this in the console:
wmic OS Get DataExecutionPrevention_SupportPolicy


0 = AlwaysOff
1 = AlwaysOn
2 = OptIn
3 = OptOut

You are scaring me, because I did read about that before I made the changes it was at zero and 3 consecutively.

Did not know there is a possibility my antivirus could change it back. I suppose it just resets windows default, can we change what it thinks the default is? Not able to check it right now. you may be on the right track, I just updated to 2010 trend.

OptIn (2) is the default of Windows and the setting it should be imho.
AlwaysOn or OptOut just causes numerous of problems. There are even numerous reports of MS own programs refusing to work (MSN, IE etc.) with those settings
