AFS/AFS2k Upgrade Download

Frequently Asked Questions

Why was I sent to this page?

Your system crashed and Microsoft's Crash Analysis reported that the crash occurred in our device driver. When this happens, the URL to this page is included in the crash report.

In most infoLinks upgrade to the AFS driver will address the problem. Please follow the instructions on this page to upgrade the driver.

Why do I have your driver?

The AFS/AFS2k driver is a part of a CD Recording engine from Oak Technology, Inc., (now Zoran, Inc.), maintained by Simpli Software, Inc. This CD Recording engine is used in several software applications. Your computer may have been shipped with one of these applications.

Please contact if you need help determining which application installed on your computer uses the AFS/AFS2k driver.

Upgrade didn't help, what do I do?

Try disabling the AFS driver. This will determine whether crashes of your computer are indeed related to AFS.

It is always possible that the newest software doesn't fix all the issues or new issues appear. In some other cases Microsoft's may not be able to determine the origin of the problem. Please send a message to our and we will be happy to assist you in finding a workaround to your problem. However, we would appreciate if you try steps listed below before you contact us. We are going to need some information to be able to help you and the steps listed below will provide us with something to start.

You may consider trying an unqualified version of the driver (if there is one available). "Unqualified" in this case means that this software already passed our internal tests, but now is being qualified by our partners who ship their software with our CD recording engine.

If the newest upgrade does not fix the crash that you are experiencing, please send us a .

Why are installer and driver versions different?

We apologize for any confusion that this causes. Strict versioning and error reporting requires us to maintain separate versions for the installer and device driver.

The installer itself is a quite complicated utility. It is possible that the installer will be modified while the driver will remain the same.

When a modification to the installer is made, we have to increment it's version to distinguish the new utility from the old one. If the driver binary does not change, it obviously has to carry its "old" version number over to the new installer.

Problems downloading the upgrade?

We apologize for the inconvinience.

Please send a message with the description of what is happening. We will get the upgrade to you some other way. We will also do our best to address the problem.
