Debugger (Debuglog.txt?)

[Esteban]

Hi,

I have some somescreen on a computer and i heard about debuglog.txt
file or any name you gave it, that can log all the errors generated by
drivers and i think you need to active the special pool...i used
verifier.exe and enabled it but i don't know how to generated a file
with all the info on drivers errors, blue screen message, etc...

I downloaded the 2 windows debuggers, kd.exe and windbg but i'm not
used to it. Any help to get this log file is apreciate!

Hi Esteban.

I guess you mean Dr Watson which is a program error debugger. More info
about it in the links below

Oh, I forgot to tell you how to use the Windbg program. When Dr Watson have
made a crashdump you will have a "user.dmp" file in the Documents and
Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson and when you run the
Windgb.exe you choose -->File-->Open Crash Dump and after the Windbg have
retrieved its info from the Crash Dump you can type "!analyze -v;r;kv;lmtn"
in the very small windows at its end to make an analyze of the Crash Dump.

It's even more about it but this is what I can and you maybe need help
interpreting the Crash Dumps, so here you have a Windbg discussiongroup via
the web
