• Enable Minidump's in Windows XP:


    Go to START|RUN and type "drwtsn32" (without the quotes) at the prompt and hit "OK".  This will open the Dr. Watson utility.

    Apply the following settings:

    - Crash Dump Type: Mini
    - Check "Dump Symbol Table", "Dump All Thread Contexts", & "Create Crash Dump File"
    - Set "Number Of Instructions" and "Number Of Errors To Save" to 50.
    - Uncheck "Append To Existing Log"


    Note the location of the Crash Dump path so you can find the minidump later and click "OK"

    Finally, reproduce your crash. This should save a Minidump file in the crash dump path location. The typical file name is "user.dmp".
