Of course, disabling security feature is not something I like.
Note that by default Windows does not enable DEP for all programs, only for Windows Executable. You're not really disabling a security feature here, you're just unable to use an extra security feature which has some compatibility issues (which is why it's not enabled by default). Not that you shouldn't be able to use the feature, but it's not strictly necessary.

I haven't looked into DEP in a while; I'll see if I can mess around with it later. You should be able to create a specific exception; I know I did it in both XP and Win7 without issue.
