Supreme Cmdr Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 If you get a similar message when trying to run the game, read ALL the posts these two threads. thread1 thread2 If you still have the problem - and you have checked EVERYTHING, do the following... For Win NT/2K/XP Start-->Program-->Run-->winmsd. This will display your system configuration details with hardware and software information on the screen. Select Save as "nfo" file from the top menu. For Win W95/98/ME Start-->Program-->Run-->msinfo32. This will display your system configuration details with hardware and software information on the screen. Select Save as "nfo" file from the top menu. When done, send the NFO file to [email protected] and wait for a response.

Supreme Cmdr Posted May 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Based on an NFO file sent in by someone earlier, here is the response from Macrovision. Derek, Can you please confirm if the user is getting "Debuggers message" or "Emulation detection message". I found ELBYVCD.SYS driver loaded on user’s system which is basically a Clone CD driver. This should give emulation detection error instead of debugger detection error. Can we get the snapshot of the error? Attached is the snapshot of the clone CD finding. By the way I can see a number of SafeDisc protected program installed in user’s system and I am assuming all running fine. They might have used a little older version of SafeDisc. Some suggestion I found on the net on how to remove Clone CD. (1) Uninstall the VCD. Uninstall CloneCD if you have to; before doing that, make sure you have your CloneCD serial handy. (2) Search the registry(Start>run>search files)) for ELBYVCD.DLL and ELBYVCD.SYS files and delete them. Try the game again after removing ELBYVCD Clone CD is from Elaborate Byte and I think Daemon tools is the older name. If you look in the NFO file you sent, that driver that Macrovision is talking about is in C:WINDOWSSYSTEM32DRIVERS folder Basically, this person has remnants of an older version of CloneCD, which was previously not uninstalled properly. If you remove this remnant (follow the instructions above), then re-install CloneCD/Daemon tools and then *disable* them properly before running the game, everything should be fine.

Supreme Cmdr Posted May 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Update from Macrovision, edited and formatted for the general public. quote: What we found that this debugger’s message is NOT coming from SafeDisc itself. This debugger message shows a Red Cross mark with the message Unload the Debugger and Try again. Here may be the cause of the debugger error which you have reported: Our engineers found this on a web site for a product called Blaze Media Pro. If you search for the exact error message you will also get a few other hits e.g. CDFreaks, where people have reported the problem on their machines. According to the text below, the message is caused by DivX. One of the hits found was on a OpenGL website. It is probably the case that the DivX code thinks that WE (SafeDisc protected program) are the debugger :-) Although the text below mentions reverting to an earlier version of DivX, I think there may be a more recent version which fixes the problem. "I am attempting to convert video files, but the following message is shown: Debugger detected - please close it down and restart. Windows NT users: Please note that having the WinIce/SoftIce service installed means that you are running a debugger. I do not believe I am running a debugger. What could be the problem?" This error is caused by DivX 5.1. The issue you have mentioned is a bug in this release of the DivX codec. The codec is actually what`s showing the error, and shutting down Blaze Media Pro because it is erroneously detecting the software as a debugger. You can uninstall DivX 5.1 and revert to DivX 5.05, and you will no longer have this problem The fix appears to be to try and update (or downgrade) the DivX drivers. From the information we found , it won't just be SafeDisc products which have this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehae Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 I believe I have checked everything in these posts - do you see something I missed? - Here's the error message: Protection Error Debugger detected - please close it down and restart. Windows NT users: Please note that having the WinIce/SoftIce service installed means that you are running a debugger. - I just bought and installed the game.

Supreme Cmdr Posted December 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Process explorer will not show codecs. You have to go to your multimedia settings in control panel for that. This error is not coming from the game or from SafeDisc. Please read the previous post from Macrovision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supreme Cmdr Posted December 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 You're just confusing the issue. If you get as far as the DC clip, for crissakes, READ the FAQ. Don't you know how to check your version of Nero? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gehae Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 quote:If you get as far as the DC clip, READ the FAQ.1. I read the Troubleshooting FAQ. Maybe I am not recognizing the information that I need. The FAQ states that I have to have at least DirectX version 8.1 and Media Player version 7.1. I have DX version 9 and MP version 10. 3. I also downloaded the DirectX control panel applet and set all the debug sliders to 'less'. 2. the Macrovision post suggested that an upgrade from DivX 5.1 should solve the problem. I never had 5.1. Installing 5.2 gets me as far as seeing the DC clip. I was not seeing the DC clip 'till after I installed DivX 5.2 3. Regarding Nero: I just downloaded v. 3.0.1.14, which has a release date of December 3rd, 2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supreme Cmdr Posted December 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 *sigh* To get past the DC clip, add /n parameter to the game shortcut. Its in the FAQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Cmdr Posted February 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Everyone needs to just read this. and this Microsoft 812759 bulletin So, I'm going to close this thread now since its just being cluttered with repetition.
