Thunderbolt 2864 Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 I keep getting these stupid application error messages, saying "Click OK to terminate the program", "Click Cancel to debug" crap. I mean, I get it quite frequently and its getting on my nerves. I performed a search on the forum but too many results came up which didn't help. Help here please?
tal ormanda Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 (edited) I also get it when I exit out of AIM Messenger, HELP! Edited November 25, 2006 by tal ormanda
cluberti Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 Best thing to do is to install userdump and configure it to monitor the .exe name of the application giving you the problems. Once configured, the next time the crash occurs it'll create process dump files (by default in your %windir% directory) that can be analyzed in windbg or cdb to see what's going on.
cluberti Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Once you download and extract the .zip file, run the setup.exe in the appropriate architecture folder (for most people, it'll be x86 for 32bit and amd64 for 64bit). Once done, it'll place an icon in your control panel called "Process Dumper" - go in there and create a new rule (using the executable name you wish to dump as the rule name). You can either use the defaults, or choose to create your own rules (select the place for the dumps to go when created, and select "all exceptions" if you do this). Otherwise, it should create dump files in your %windir% location when a process that matches a rule crashes.
Thunderbolt 2864 Posted November 26, 2006 Author Posted November 26, 2006 Thanks for that, cluberti. I've installed it and when it crashes, I'll try to find that dump file and upload it here for analyzing.
cluberti Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Fantastic. Let me know if you run into any snags. By default, the dumps should be in your Windows directory and named "rulename.dmp" (whatever you named the rule).
Thunderbolt 2864 Posted November 26, 2006 Author Posted November 26, 2006 Yeah, I managed to get the dump file, problem is that the file is over 50MB which I think is too big. Is there a way to minimize the file? Thanks for your help by the way.
cluberti Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Have you compressed it with WinRAR? If so, I'll PM you an FTP location to use.
tal ormanda Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Yes, I did. teach me how to make an FTP too?
