I can tell you how to disable DEP, but that does not appear to be your
problem.
It appears you have significant Windows Corruption either due to
malware/registry cleaner use/User error that only a reinstall of Vista
may resolve.
let me ask you this:
What antivirus/antimalware program are you, or have you been running?
Are you using UAC, or have you shut it off?
Have you been using registry cleaners?
Scan/clean your system here:'_http://www.eset.com/onlinescan_'
(

Sorry if this is not what you wanted to hear. But this is how to
resolve your issues.
Re-install, or insert your Vista disk (or boot into recovery partition)
use the advanced recovery partitions to do a system restore to a date
before the corruption/infection occured (if said restore point still
exists). Otherwise, reinstall. If this corruption is due to a virus
and/or Malware and you can resolve it with Restore utility. YOU MUST
turn off and then turn on System Restore to completely remove the
malware from your system.
Always use UAC, Install an excellent Antimalware program (I recommend
NOD32 4.0) and use Windows Defender. DO NOT use registry cleaners as
they often cannot distinguish between legitimate and unwanted entries,
and more often than not, delete critical Windows entries (.dll)
[svchost.executables] resulting in corruption and the need for Windows
re-installation.
