And disable the dep
Hi,
If a program is failing and you want to disable DEP to see if that is
the cause. Here are the steps. (Just disable DEP for the program in
question… don’t disable it for your whole system.)
1. Click Start
2. Select Control Panel
3. Select System
4. Click the Advanced tab
5. In the Performance region select Settings
6. Click the Data Execute tab in the dialog box that opens
7. Select Turn on DEP for all programs and services except for those I select
8. Click Add.
9. The open dialog box will open. Browse and select your application.
10. Click Open
11. Click Apply
12. Click Ok
13. Reboot
Hope this helps :)
Season's Greetings!

Hi again,
In the DEP part, you turn on all DEP apart from what you are specifying. Now, you don't look for the controller, you look for the emulator you are using such as ePSXe or the game or whatever, and then make sure you run the emulator or the game as administrator. The point of this is so that the controller can now be configured/calibrated from within the emulator or game, when it could not be before. This is a thing to try after you have realised that it is not possible to calibrate the controller using the emulator/game.
Let's start from the beginning:
So you plugged in the controller. And downloaded and installed the drivers for it, restarted, and it then read the USB device and now appears in device manager? and says Device is working properly?
So then you would have wanted to Calibrate the controller, and would have gone to Control Panel > Game Controllers > Double Click the Controller > Calibrate.
After doing this, does the gamepad respond when you launch a game?
If yes, then all is good. Enjoy.
If not, then you would then open ePSXe (or whatever emulator), go to config, then gamepad and try to configure the
controller there. If you can, then all is good. Enjoy.
But if it still doesnt respond when you try to set the buttons, then we have to work out whether the problem is with the emulator or with the controller. And this is why we would turn off Data Execution Prevention for the emulator.
Because we would then attempt to calibrate the controller and play a game again, and if the controller still didn't work, then there is no problem with the emulator, but with the controller.
In which case it probably means the controllers usb drivers haven't been installed properly, or they were drivers for the wrong controller, or something like that.
So, you are basically working out if DEP is the cause of the emulator not working, to isolate if that is the root cause of why you can't calibrate your controller.. you see?
I know it's a pain to get your head round, and it's also difficult to explain clearly without getting lost in all the jargon, but just do each step at a time and I'm sure you'll get there in the end.
Good Luck :)
