I’ve already set up everything. I installed Windows XP on a separate partition from Windows 7. However Windows 7 can recognize my router and internet access fine. Though, XP cannot.

Thank you for reading this. I appreciate all insight, feedback, advice, experience or anything at all.

I am unable to open Microsoft Internet Explorer Browser and I get Windows Help and Support Screen where I get this message:

What is Data Execution Prevention?

Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature that can help prevent damage to your computer from viruses and other security threats. Harmful programs can try to attack Windows by attempting to run (also known as execute) code from system memory locations reserved for Windows and other authorized programs. These types of attacks can harm your programs and files.

DEP can help protect your computer by monitoring your programs to make sure that they use system memory safely. If DEP notices a program on your computer using memory incorrectly, it closes the program and notifies you.

I want to Turn OFF DEP for all programs and services.

My Opera and Mozilla Firefox browsers are working extremely well now.

Kindly help me please to start my Microsoft Internet Explorer browser.

I am a total newbie with Linux and I am wanting to dual boot Windows Vista and Linux Mint 7 without harming Vista or having to erase my hard drive.

Could somebody please tell me how to do this if it’s possible.

P.S. I have Vista 32-bit with about 35 Gig free on my hard drive, is that good enough to dual boot

Disclaimer:
I hate computers, they are far too complicated.
If any answers include number patterns or symbols or capitol letters with : or ; or . or , or > and so on, I will not read it because I will not understand it.
If any answer includes words that a parrot cannot repeat, I will not read it because I will not understand it.
I need someone to explain step by step as if they were explaining this to a 7 year old kid who grew up in a third world country.

Here’s my problem:
I cannot open my 1Tb MyBook WD on my Dell Inspiron 1526 Windows Vista computer. It does not show up under my computer, disk nor device manager, all the USB ports say they’re working, it does not show it is plugged into any of them. It does not even pop up a little bubble in the right corner saying anything is working properly or installing anything. The only place it is even evident my hard drive exists is under Computer(right click)> manage> storage > disk management (snap in). Then I have 4 little lines at the top: under “volume” the first two are blank then the third is, OS (C) and the fourth is Recovery. Under those are 3 boxes with numbers and other mumbo jumbo in them. The first is: Disk O basic 288.23 gb online…THEN THE ONE I WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:
Disk 1, unknown, 2048.85 gb, NOT INITIALIZED. Then in the white box next to it is reads: 2048.85 gb unallocated. The only thing I can do is right click on either of these, I CANNOT LEFT CLICK.
When I right click IN THE GREY BOX, it gives me 3 out of 4 options: Initialize, Offline (which is faded and i think that means I can’t do) Properties, and Help. If I click in the white box to the right of that it says New Simple Volume, New spanned volume and new stripped volume are faded, properties and help. When I click on “Initialize disk” it says:
“The media is write protected”
It took me 6 hours of reading to be able to open those screens and before today I didn’t know how computers could get much more complex.
HERE’S THE KICKER:
I can take my hard drive, unplug it off my laptop and plug it right into my desktop and guess what…everything works perfect. It comes up under my computer and is 100% accessible.
KICKER NUMBER 2:
It works fine on everyone’s laptop/ desktop except 1 other one where I have the same problem. I’ve tried it on about 24 computers and the only ones that give me trouble is mine and my one friend’s. On every other computer it comes up under my computer.
There is no answers online that I could find and understand…and I don’t have $480 to send to HDD or whatever company said they’d fix it. The hard drive is sitting on my desk blinking every few seconds when it’s plugged into the Dell but as soon as I plug it into the desktop it stays on.

PS I have tried everything I could find. Plugging it in out out in and out in and out, of both the computer and the wall like so many sights say to do. I’ve looked for it under every administrator tools and management and device finders and adding new hardware and programs.

PLEASE HELP ME?? The only computer I really need this thing to work on it isn’t working on!

Remember I need to be talked to like a 7 year old. Step by step instructions and what to click on, otherwise I’ll get lost. And please don’t “answer” with “I’m having the same problem, what do I do” I read through so many blogs about this where everyone was posting “OMG me TOO!” and “ROFL I cant believe this is happening to me!” and there was no answer. Just eight pages of a pity party. Please I really need help!
To vulcan:
If computers are that simple, why can’t you walk me through, step by step, the formatting process?
Reboot with the REPAIR CD changed nothing. Can someone help???????????????????????
