2. Click the "Advanced" tab, then click "settings" under the "Performance" section
3. Choose the "Data Execution Prevention" tab
4. Select "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select"
5. Click "Add...", then select the the transformer executable
6. Click "Apply", then "OK" twice.
