I have tried both options, "Let my computer decide" and "except those I select" without success. The DEP always appears and Dr Watson (sometimes) on my "Download" file. I have created a new file then transferred everything from the download file into the new file then open the new file and no DEP appears only in the Download file even though it may be empty. Also the DEP appears on windows media player if I use any CD/DVD-R

My system doesn't tell me which program is causing the problem so this theory is flawed.
