had to reformat system last week.
Reloaded all programs + Quick Books '06.
Everything seemed to working great until this afternoon when my system
slowed down to a craw.
Opened task manager and found 6 dumprep.exe running.

Not sure what is happening. If this should be posted in a different NG let
me know..

It's still sitting there. I'm on another system and not sure what to do.

thats a dump reporting tool, it is a legit process, to turn it off go
to your system preferences, control panel - system - advanced tab.
otherwise when you reboot do you still have 6 instances of it running?
if so go to start/run type msconfig <enter> startup tab and uncheck
it/them.

Flamer.
 
Couldn't restart system it was sooooo slow so I hit the reset button.
I don't see any dumpreps in task mamger but the question is, what's
happening or happened that caused it?
Is that a "sign" that something is wrong with system?

Thanks for information but being a novice and not understanding everything

Again, thanks for the advise.
So far, today, everything is working great.

Now I have another problem/glich. I'll post here but will start another
thread if needed.
I use http://www.intellicast.com actually
(http://www.intellicast.com/IcastPag...odgrp=RadarImagery&product=Radar&prodnav=none)
to watch weather reports, etc.
If I click on radar/radar I can see the image. If I click on "Java Loop" I
get a red x instead of image.
I know this is probably just a setting but not sure where.

Hi L
See - Black Tuesday update mess 17 July 2006
I also got a load of these dumprep.exe after updates.
Everything froze after reboot on last update.
Task Manager froze and the dumps were using all the CPU between them.
Pulled out the plug - plugged back in - slowish start.
Looked in TM - couple of dumps had gone.
So unplugged twice more and they went - touch wood all seems to be working
OK.

Hello Wesley
I got 5 dumprep three days ago after installing latest updates from MS.
This thread is the third I think re dumprep, where installing updates are
concerned. Also shown in my TM were 5 svchost.exe'
Do you think there is a link between dumprep and the updates.
Each month these updates seem to be getting more problematical.

Yes I have been/am following that thread and all the other recent ones
concerning the dumprep and updates.
I am still following the leads off of that thread. I still have some to
read.
Many thanks - it just seemed strange how this dumprep appeared with updates.

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

In L <[email protected]> hunted and pecked:
had to reformat system last week.
Reloaded all programs + Quick Books '06.
Everything seemed to working great until this afternoon when my
system
slowed down to a craw.
Opened task manager and found 6 dumprep.exe running.

Not sure what is happening. If this should be posted in a different
NG
let
me know..

It's still sitting there. I'm on another system and not sure what
to
do.

I have been having dumprep problems too, much as others have described...

A search reveals I have a "dumprep.exe" in C:\i386 and C:\WINDOWS\system32.
Could it be that the one in C:\i386 is malware, and how can I check?

Also, I have disabled error reporting yet it still pops up in TM from time
to time, eating away 100% CPU! Is that another indicator? There's nothing in
msconfig or regedit that suggests dumprep is starting up...
(I went to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/899870/en-us, but there is no
dumprep 0 -k or dumprep 0 -u check box in msconfig, neither is there a
dumprep entry in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run registry key)

Many thanks for any advice!
