Sometimes the crashes are easy to figure out, sometimes you might need to accumulate 4 or 5 crash dumps to get enough clues to figure out the problem. The reply doesn't have to work, it doesn't have to be right and it doesn't even have to make sense - it just has to have a link to a KB article to "count" for their quotas. In reply to A. User's post on April 27, Hello Azeez N and Thanks for your reply. I had read that article , but I don't think it is a minidump file ; if it is it is gigantic - 0.
Hi again Joselbarra and Thank you for your reply. The reason the 0. In reply to Gus Russell's post on April 28, I don't think opening the large dump file will help you.
Even if XP thinks it is an Adobe file, obviously it ain't. If it is that big, it sounds like some other kind of file. If it is annoying and you can't figure out what to do with it, get rid of it or move it to some other folder for a while and delete it sometime in the future when you get tired of looking at it. And in your other post from February, it looked like you had some crashes from Norton and some from Intel drivers and it was suggested that you look for some help out in the Intel forums.
A full user-mode dump is not the same as a dump with heap. Debugging dump files of optimized code can be confusing. For example, compiler inlining of functions can result in unexpected call stacks, and other optimizations might change the lifetime of variables. Dump files with heaps contain a snapshot of the app's memory, including the values of variables, at the time of the dump.
Visual Studio also saves the binaries of loaded native modules in a dump file with a heap, which can make debugging much easier.
Visual Studio can load symbols from a dump file with a heap, even if it can't find an app binary. Dump files without heaps are much smaller than dumps with heaps, but the debugger must load the app binaries to find symbol information. The loaded binaries must exactly match the ones running during dump creation.
Dump files without heaps save the values of stack variables only. While you are debugging a process in Visual Studio, you can save a dump when the debugger has stopped at an exception or breakpoint.
With Just-In-Time Debugging enabled, you can attach the Visual Studio debugger to a crashed process outside of Visual Studio, and then save a dump file from the debugger.

If you have symbol-related issues, use the Symchk utility to verify that the correct symbols are loaded correctly. For more information about how to use Symchk, see Debugging with Symbols.
After you identify the command that you must have to load memory dumps, you can create a batch file to examine a dump file. For example, create a batch file and name it Dump. Save it in the folder where the debugging tools are installed.
Type the following text in the batch file:. When you want to examine a dump file, type the following command to pass the dump file path to the batch file:. Skip to main content.
