-pops- Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Things like that are intended for developers and programmers rather than people like the majority of us are.Be very careful using this type of tool - they are designed to be able to reach into the depths of your system (where ordinary mortals don't normally go) and, as a consequence, can do much damage if used wrongly or without due care and attention.If you do decide to use developer tools at any time make doubly sure that you have an infallible backup of your system.

cozofdeath Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 The only thing I've ever used them for is dumps. The debugger basically tells you what file is causing the problem. All you have to do is add MS's link to the symbols and load a dump file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
