D.E.P. Blocked Windows Installer

So, I went to install Need For Speed Pro Street and it locked up about
90%, but it happens (rarely) so I'll make another attempt.

I rebooted and now I get a message saying D.E.P. has blocked windows
installer 1.0 - I can't even install this game now or any other software
thanks to D.E.P., because it blocked a legitimate microsoft process
which doesn't appear in the list under performance/advance/D.E.P.

How do I reset D.E.P. to the original defaults, before it blocked a
legitimate microsoft installer process?

I have tried nx AlwaysOff and nx AlwaysOn

This created a brand new bs problem:
After switching D.E.P. back on it now blocks Vista x64 XFI Module for
sound.... WTFH

Try a System Restore to a time before the failed game install.
