I was told to search for and rename a file called amdfix.sys I only had one on my system in the winnt/system32/drivers directory. I renamed it and my problem was solved. I do use an AMD processor and I have no idea what this driver does.. so far, so good. I wish you luck.

I got this problem to, and I got an AMD XP1700+. amdfix.sys sounds like a "fix" to me. I don't wanna end up with an error message next time I reboot. Is it safe to rename it? I mean, probably you won't even get into DOS to re-rename it if it messes up your system ... //Niclas On Wednesday, October 23, 2002 at 8:27 am, Brian wrote: >Worked like a charm.

After searching the Web for an hour or so, I found a solution that worked just fine, and it actually made some sense. For those of you who installed the driver/application software from Creative Labs Audigy 2 Platinum, you simply need to "uncheck" the box that lets that annoying Creative Introduction/Getting Started/Demo screen launch on startup, then reboot your system to see if A-the annoying startup graphic stops launching at startup and B-your game stops prompting you to "unload the debugger" when you try to run it. Good Luck!

I have an intel processor and a soundmax soundcard driver, so the amdfix.sys file isn't on my computer and the unchecking of the boxes isn't possible. But when i uninstalled de soundmax driver, the game didn't have the error. Well, the game didn't work anymore because my soundcard didn't have a driver. So I reinstalled the driver and unchecked windows audio in the msconfig screen, but the game still crashes. I red somewhere that someone had the same problem, but he uninstalled the dvd-burner-driver. I have a dvd-burner, but it is my only cd-drive. So i don't dare to uninstall the driver. Can somebody please help me?
