Above is an error we are getting when trying to view a very simple report in version 7.0.7. I have tried the following to attempt to resolve the issue:

1. Installed Crystal Reports
2. Installed .Net 2.0 SDK to change .Net Permissions (reports are on network)
3. Turned DEP on (and turned it off again)
4. Installed version 6

None of these have resolved the problem.

Any help would be gratefully received.

I am currently having the same issue when trying to use a windowless view through a finance package.

Works fine in XP

Has a solution been found for this?

Kind Regards,

Phil

Ok,

I have had a bit of a play and the line of code

bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff

Does resolve the issue.

How ever it does make the computer very vulnerable. Is there a switch that will allow to just set the value off for a particular application?

I tried through System but no go as says unable to set parameter for this application.

I will have to force through cmd.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Phil
