AFC klingt sich als Laufwerktreiber bei CD und DVD Laufwerken ein. Wenn er gelöscht wird, dann hat man keine Zugriff mehr zum DVD/CD - LW. Wenn man ihn löscht, dann sollte man sich den Gerätemanager ansehen, das/die Laufwerk/e löschen. In der Registry müssen alle Einträge entfernt werden in denen AFC.SYS erscheint. Danach im Windows/System32/driver32 den Treiber für alle Fälle Speichern. Im Windowsverzeichnis nach weiteren Einträgen suchen (z.B. ntbtlog.txt) und ausscheiden und woanders speichern. Danach über Systemsteuerung/Hardware neu installieren. Das trifft übrigens auch für PFC.SYS zu.
