Windows Vista how to turn off kernel debugger?

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:
http://www.vistaheads.com/forums/microsoft-public-windows-vista-general/172747-re-help-how-do-i-turn-off-kernel-debugging.html

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

 

thanks but i already found that post when googling my issue. sadly i dont know how to run CMD as administrator. right clicking it? right clicking what? there was nothing i could right click on to get a drop down menu so i can choose "run as administrator "... so that didnt help out

 

Have a look

PeteC:

Thanks for catching that error.

 

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 "

***?

You probably want the 32 Bit version.

Then see if you can run DAEMON TOOLS.
