Just use the MS WinDbg tool. You'll also need all the symbol files (around 250Mb, depending on which flavour of Windoze you're running)

 

In honor of my 50th post, I want to share a very nice program for analyzing .dmp files:

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html It's freeware and extremely useful!

Windbg only works on Windows 7 from what I saw and we are still running XP Good suggestion though.

 

Agreed - it's small simple and quick, works well for an initial peek.

 

What? I've used WinDBg for about ten years. It most certainly DOES work on XP - and 2000, And 2003 Server, and NT

 

Zeb's right.

You can find the complete drivers kit including the Microsoft WinDbg debugger tool here, and a video on it's use here.

 

Apologies - and a concession of being in error. There is a version for XP; I didn't look closely enough to see the previous versions link. Sorry!
