This file is a part of Sonic's DLA program used for making rewritable cd and dvds, but it causes crashes on some DVDRW drives. Disable that part of Sonic or get a newer driver

TFSNIFS.SYS is a driver related to Sonic RecordNow! Like above, uninstalling the Sonic software and reinstalling it can fix the issue. In cases I have seen, this file can become corrupted by a virus.

It's a DVD drive driver; I was unable to play a video game and finally my drive stopped working entirely. I read the article about reinstalling the driver and sure enough, it fixed the problem. No more blue screen of death and my game now works fine.

Die Datei erscheint in Fehlermeldungen (Bluescreen) die ein virtuelles Laufwerk von mir betreffen. Es funktioniert gar nicht....Auch ich habe ein Dell System. Also Quasi Bestätigung dass sich sich in irgendeinerweise um eine Treiberdatei handelt.
