I downloaded a trial version of a pc game and when I went to start it, an error came up and stated 'This application cannot run with an active debugger in memory. Please unload the debugger and restart the application.' I have searched for a long while on the internet trying to find different ways to fix this but nothing seems to work. I went to this microsoft site and it said to rename the Amdfix.sys file and try using a clean boot procedure but nothing has seemed to work. Has anyone had this problem before?

sometimes malware on a computer can be seen as a debugger. your computer malware free? antivirus apps, firewalls or antimalware apps that have real time protection might cause the msg also, games that come with anticheating, crack protection etc can be very invasive and cause conflicts with other security apps you might have. If you truly had a debugger on your computer most likely you would know it. have you visited the games website and looked around the FAQ/troubleshooting sections? if you want, post a hjt log and i will look for malware or possible debuggers in the log.

post the hjt log in this forum:

HTJ:

* http://www.downloads.subratam.org/hijackthis.zip
* If you are unfamiliar with zip programs get HijackThis.exe here:
* http://www.merijn.org/files/HijackThis.exe

* First put hijackthis into a permanent folder.
* Do this first - go to C: and create a new permanent folder.
Example C:\AntiSpyWare or C:\hijackthis
* This is necessary to ensure you have backups should anything go wrong.
* Then put (or download - choose "save" not "run") the hijackthis.exe file in this folder.
If you downloaded a zipped HJT file unzip it to the permanent folder so you have C:\hijackthis\hijackthis.exe.
* Example of the wrong way:
C:\DOCUME~1\Name\LOCALS~1\Temp\Temporary Directory for hijackthis.zip\HijackThis.exe
* Running hjt from the wrong folder may delay assistance as your helper will have to ask for a new log.

If in doubt use this link to get HijackThis.
Save it to your desktop and then double-click to run it.
It will install the program in c:\program files\HijackThis.

* Double click HijackThis.exe.
* Hit None Of The Above, just start the program.
* Hit Scan.
* When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
* Click that, save the log somewhere, and copy/paste into your own new topic
