dumprep.exe fails to initialise.

This message appears at shutdown so fast that I'm not sure what the rest
says.

Googling suggests many things but installing SpyEraser as one message
advises is not the answer as I found to my cost. Had to roll back to remove
the damage.

I'm not as smart as I used to be and I really could use some help to fix it.

XP Home+SP2 and all the patches.

Hi Jumbo,


See this MS article:

Also, this courtesy of MS-MVP Wesley Vogel (explained much better than the
article):

dumprep 0 -k

KernalFaultCheck:
%systemroot%\\system32\\dumprep 0 -k


Dumprep.exe = Windows Error Reporting Dump Reporting Tool


Dumprep.exe should be located in %WinDir%\System32. If not it may be some
sort of malware.


[[The Dumprep.exe tool is a non-essential system process that is installed
for third-party use. ]]


You can disable this....
Right click My Computer | Properties | Advanced tab | Under Startup and
Recovery | Settings button | Under System Failure | UNCheck: Write an
event to the system log | Under Write debugging information | Select (None)
| Click OK | Click Apply | Click OK


Write an event to the system log = dumprep 0 -k
[[Specifies whether Windows will write event information to the system log
when the system stops unexpectedly.
You must be logged on as a member of the Administrators group to set
recovery options.]]


Write debugging information:
[[Specifies what type of information Windows should record when the system
stops unexpectedly, and the name of the file that holds this information.]]


Dump file:
[[Provides a space for you to type the name of a log file that Windows can
use to write the contents of system memory when the system stops
unexpectedly.
You must be logged on as a member of the Administrators group to set
recovery options.]] %systemroot%\MEMORY.DMP is the default.


If you have other, serious problems, then dumprep 0-k is automatically
enabled.


If you have Error Reporting enabled, this entry may show up for the first
time after your PC has experienced a Windows XP dump crash, or an Office
XP or Internet Explorer 6 crash where you were prompted about sending the
crash results to Microsoft.


To disable Error Reporting....
Right click My Computer | Properties | Advanced tab |
Error Reporting button | Disable error reporting


Also.
Start | Run | Type: services.msc | Click OK |
Scroll down to and double click: Error Reporting Service | Click Apply |
Click OK
