[stony]

What programme should I use to open one ?

Notepad or wordpad I think!

Nope, just looks like a load of garbled nonsense.

nope you have to download a specific dump reader programme....but its difficult....its dos driven programme and you have to add the character/symbol packs manually to the software so it can understand your text

Stony, send me the dump file and i'll debug it for you. It's a bit of an arse to try and explain over here.

 

[shadygiz]

is that an offer for me too ;p

keep getting crash errors on this vista....cant for the life of me suss out where in the minidump file my error is

im convinced its either a ati graphics driver error or a creative live driver error.....or it could simply be a registry error, but i do run regfix quite often

it's intermittent, but once it happens, it seems to happen another few times within an hour, then nothing again for days :S

i tried to force some software/hardware issues with different programmes (dx diag, 3d mark, etc) to see if it confirmed what i thought....but came up blank

so maybe someone with a keener eye than mine can see the error in the dumpfile ;)
