Can no longer open Liberty BASIC.

[Rod]

I had an email from Barry Hawkins, he reported this.

I can no longer open my Liberty Basic Program. I have tried downloading it again but no luck.

It has been working fine on my Lenovo Laptop running Windows 10 but just will no longer open.

I have replied to his email but my responses are unread. So I post here in the hope he sees the response.

I expect it will be DEP. DEP can get toggled on if you update virus checkers or start using a server service, say messing with IOT. The answer is to set DEP back to its original settings which are perfectly safe.

I ran through the process on a Win10 Machine older systems may vary slightly, so use the Windows Help to get the exact process for your OS.


1) type sysdm.cpl into the windows search box bottom left of your desktop.

2) Windows will list the applet sysdm.cpl, click on it to start the System Properties dialog

3) Click on the Advanced tab

4) Click on Performance [settings]

5) Click on the DEP tab

6) Ensure that the checkbox is set for "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programmes and services"

7) Click Apply

8) Reboot your PC
