'Error Report Contents' message?
The window with exception information, address of the routine that
coused crach, module dumps, etc.


Best regards,

You'll find these files in the directories as being specified:

Start > Run: %windir%\system32\drwtsn32.exe

Control Panel > System > Advanced tab > Startup & Recovery > Settings.
Note that the files in that directory are binary files and therefore,
they cannot be analyzed without using special tools.
 
You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools, and
Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information
regarding Event ID, Source and Description are important.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double click
on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button
resembling two pages. Double click the button and close Event Viewer. Now
start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of the message. This
will paste the info from the Event Viewer Error Report complete with links
into the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from Event
Viewer.

Hope this helps.
