Driver Verifier utiliy

[Jonathan Estabillo]

Every time I am using the Driver Verifier in Windows XP to check my system's
drivers, my system always restarts by itself. The only way to remove the
settings for this utility is for me to go into Safemode. Now anybody there
knows how to utilize this feature well? Why is it making my system restart?
Can anybody help me?

P.S.
Please do not give me a link to a website. I would appreciate a straight
answer, THANKS!!!

Driver verifier is a tool to help test \ expose bugs in drivers.
So what is happening is there are bugs in some of the drivers on your
machine, and when you turn on this feature, you are exposing the bugs which
makes the system crash (bluescreen). The system then auto reboots.

I would be interested in seeing the files in c:\windows\minidump, which are
the data files that describe the crashes. This would let us find out what
buggy driver is on the machine.
