Why doesn't the Rapid Resizer work on Vista?
Versions 2.1 to 2.5 of the Rapid Resizer won't run with Vista's Data Execution Prevention. (
The latest version works fine with Vista.) DEP is usually off by default. To disable it only for the Rapid Resizer:
- Click on the Windows logo on the bottom left of the screen.
- Right click on Computer (on the right, in the middle vertically).
- Choose Properties.
- Click on Advanced System Settings (on the left, under Tasks).
- Choose the Advanced tab.
- Click the first Settings button.
- Click on the Data Execution Prevention tab.
- Choose "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select".
- Click the Add button.
- Enter C:\Program Files\Rapid Resizer\Rapid Resizer.exe
- Click OK.
If the Rapid Resizer installs but doesn't start, this could be the solution.
