[Resolved] how to turn off kernel debugger?

topeira · 6th January 2010

hi guys.

i cant seem to run Daemon tools on my friend's laptop since i get an error saying i must turn off kernel debugger.

i know nothing about nothing on vista (barely know anything about my XP either) so would appreciate any help on how to do that.
also if i need to enter anything at a command prompt than instruct me on how to get there on vista. if i need something run as administrator - explain that as well.

thanks a lot for any sort of help

cheers

This web site might help you turn off the debugger:

I did add a few steps to what is on the web site:

go to start menu -> Run
type in cmd
open it by right-clicking and choosing "Run as adminstrator"
Type bcdedit -debug off
press enter
and reboot

sp3851 - your instructions contain an error .....

The correct command is bcdedit /debug off

Thanks to pccare.... for the link.

thanks a lot for the links guys but it didnt work.

i got the UAC off on the laptop (did i mention it was a laptop? dont think it matters) and got into CMD in the command propt and typed "bcdedit /debug off " and i even got a confirmation message saying the oporation was succesful and STILL when i try to run DAEMON TOOLS i get a message saying
"error, the program requires at least win 2000 with SPTD 1.60 or higher.
Kernel debugger must be deactivated"

Go to this web site and downlaod and install the software:

You probably want the 32 Bit version.

Then see if you can run DAEMON TOOLS.
