Kernel debugger problem. Help!!!!

[TK421]

I'm using windows Vista (yes I know, that's the problem right there. Believe me if I could afford a mac I'd buy one)

Anyway, I've been using a program happily for a few months and suddenly, from out of nowhere this week the program wouldn't start. All I get is a message saying:

A kernel mode debugger installation has been detected. please uninstall for correct operation.

I'm like, wtf???

I haven't installed anything in weeks. I don't have a clue what it's talking about.

Vista isn't set to dump anything to a file. I uninstalled and reinstalled the program, scanned for viruses and trojans. Cleaned up the registry.

I still can't find the problem.

Any geniuses out there that an help with this?

(at the same time, also from out of nowhere, skype now crashes my computer when I turn it on. Something is clearly screwy)

Update:

Fixed.

For anyone using Vista that is interested, the OS did something very weird.

It can set itself to boot in debbuger mode without being told to.

This causes so many problems its not even funny.

To switch debugger mode off, you have to open a command prompt in admin mode, then enter bcdedit (what used to be the boot.ini) figure out the id of the OS, and type /debug off.

Then reboot.

Vista then boots in normal mode.

What a crappy os
