[THIN] Re: View .dmp file (Microsoft Dump File)

H Rusty,
 
You mean you don't? (shocked expression!!!)
 
Seriously, getiing useful information out of BSOD dump can be fairly
easy (or pretty challengin) depending on what the problem is. However if
we're dealing with driver (printer or whatever) induced crashes, things
couldn't be easier.
 
If you want a good introduction, the place to start is Mark
Russinovich's great whitepaper on crash dump analysis at:
 
http://www.win2000mag.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=16425
 
If you want to get a bit more serious, check out:
 
http://asp01sea.activate.net/microsoft/teched2002/publish/DEP354_files/d
efault.htm#profile=1
 
Then go to:
 
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/debugstart.mspx
 
Download windbg, and either get the symbol files for the OS version (+SP
depending on detail required) or set things up so that windbg can use a
symbol server at Microsoft.
 
When you run windbg and open a dump file, the first thing it tells you
to do is run "!analyze -v", which will generally tell you as much as you
need to know.
 
Have fun.
 
regards,
 
Rick
