When you open Amano Software, specifically on systems using the IDEMIA (Morphotrak) biometric integration, a Java SE Binary Error may appear on some systems where Data Execution Prevention is turned on to it's highest setting.  Data Execution Prevention (DEP) prevents harmful code from running in protected memory locations reserved for Windows and other programs. 


WARNING!  Making chances to the Boot Configuration Data Options can cause your computer not to start.  Check with your local computer systems administrator before you proceed. 


The steps below will lower the Data Prevention Execution settings to allow some programs to OptOut of using it.

  1. Run a windows command prompt as an administrator.
  2. Type:  “bcdedit /set nx OptOut”
  3. You will see a message: “The operation completed successfully”  and you will need to restart the PC for the change to take effect.

NOTE: If you receive an error that says "This value is protected by Secure Boot Policy and cannot be modified or deleted" then you'll need to enter your BIOS to disable secure boot. Booting onto your BIOS varies by the motherboard and is for advanced users only.  Proceed with caution.


How to revive a non-booting machine after setting DEP to AlwaysOff.

  1. If you have a Windows recovery disk, use it to boot your computer.  (You may make a Windows recovery disk from Windows installation media on another working PC)
  2. Once booted, open an command prompt as administrator.
  3. Type: "bcdedit /set nx AlwaysOn"
  4. You will see a message: “The operation completed successfully”  and you will need to restart the PC for the change to take effect.

NOTE: If you receive an error that says "This value is protected by Secure Boot Policy and cannot be modified or deleted" then you'll need to enter your BIOS to disable secure boot. Booting onto your BIOS varies by the motherboard and is for advanced users only.  Proceed with caution.
