After experiencing several blue screens this evening, I wondered if I could check the .dmp files to gain some insight.
Open the .dmp with C++, then start debug, but VC++ complains about the dump file format.
Google "windows crash dump analysis" suggests a Technet Webcast by Mark Russinovich, Chief Software Architect and Cofounder, Winternals Software (Microsoft Tech·Ed)
Sounds good, but to see the broadcast, I have to register. To
register for the broadcast, I first have to register for a Microsoft
Live ID. But wait, I think I already have one, I can't log in though.
OK, get the password emailed to me, manage to log in. Now I have to
fill in a page of personal information. It says to press cancel if I
don't want to provide this information, but that just kicks me back out
to the "register" page. So I log in again, fill out all the
information, and I finally get to a page with a link to the actual
presentation. Well, not quite. I have to provide my email and company
name. OK, so now I am on a page with the actual link, but it is saying
that I need to be running Internet Explorer 6.1. Arghh, I have done
all of this in Firefox, so I start over again, this time in IE. When I
finally get to the page with the broadcast link, I am being asked to
install Live Meeting. Which is furnished by a third party, and is not
digitally signed. I click cancel and give up.
