I dont know if this goes here but I need help.

A WMI error keeps popping up on my computer, and I need help with getting it off.
 
Data Execution Prevention
How to configure it (wouldn't recommend completely turning it off, though.)

A bit off-topic, but once I was having a problem with a corrupted file. the DEP kept closing down explorer.exe whenever I moused-over it, until I deleted the file (using a third-party application). It was annoying at the time, but now I find it kind of funny.
 
My computer was made within the last three years, will it's power supply be sufficient to power a Geforce 8800GT? I am totally clueless as to what to do, and I'm not too sure I can afford more power as well as the card. Am I correct in saying the only way to check is to open the computer and take a look?

Spoiler :
How do I open the computer? :p

Yeah, thats the only way that I'm aware of, even if you used a voltmeter or whatever you call it, you still have to open it.. Usually there will be screws on the side (or back) of the case, take those out, pop the side off, and look for the sticker on the PSU.

Oh, make sure your computer's unplugged. And don't open the PSU unless you know a cannibal who likes theirs fried.
 
Save for the fact that the PSU's output is printed on the outside. Unless you know what you're looking for,t he inside will look like just another computer part, a bit beefier, but still not very exciting.

my monitor's optimal resolution is 1360x768, but it won't let me select that resolution.

And? A bit more detail please?
If you're fine with using a another proggie, you can install Riva Tuner and have it force a specific resolution.

Well, when I try to move the little slider that changes the resolution, it won't go to my resolution. It skips between 1280x1024 and 1600x1200. I'm not sure exactly what you want as further information. The screen resolution had been working just fine at 1360x786, but someone changed it, or it somehow went back on its own.
If this helps at all, here you go

As you can see, there isn't a dash between the 2 resolutions. It worked just fine before, so I'm confused.:confused::confused:

1360x768 I think is a resolution for a wide screen monitor. If you have a 4:3 monitor then it wouldn't show in windows properties as being available. If you have a wide screen, then windows doesn't think that you do.
 
Have you updated drivers recently? I had trouble with adjusting some settings after updating drivers. Then I install the Omega drivers and everything works fine, except if the resolutions off, half the screen will disappear because it shifted over to one side. :p

How do I make it so it detects the monitor as being widescreen then?

There should have been a driver CD with the monitor. If you don't have that, then google drivers for your make and model of monitor and download them. Once installed, if Windows is not automatically detecting that it is a widescreen monitor, then check that dropdown box where it says "default monitor" and see if it will allow you to choose yours from the list. That might even work without new drivers.
 
What's the normal temperature for a computer? My new benchmarking program says my computer is 30 C. If that's high, I might have to move it.
