Hello all,
I'm new on this forum, and have the same problem. This problem occurs on Morrowind, Medieval Total War, Shogun Total War, Black and White (for my games) and comes from Safe Disc CD protection under Windows XP.
So, it is not really a game problem. If you re-install XP, then install the games, they will work again. Until you re-install the software which may generate this bug...
I have tried to stop each process and services, but no changes.
So, I am currently trying to find what is common in our configuration. Can you tell me if you are doing some Video Edition ? Do you have CD Burner, and what are your Burning Software ?
I've read in some forum that removing the file amdfix.sys (in C:/Windows/System32/Drivers) will solve the issue. I've tried and it changes the problem. I did not have this f...... message, but the game never start. But may be it can help someone.
By the end, I always download the nocd patch for each game and play in this config. But it is a problem when you want to install a patch.
So, if you can give me your config (software), may be it can help.
Does anyone ask Microsoft about that ? THis error only occurs with Windows 2k and XP.
Elros
