MEMORY.DMP

[Petebert]

I was wondering what was taking up so much space on my C: drive, my windows
folder is 3.14 gigs, I've got this file called MEMORY.DMP that is .99 gigs,
from what I've read its just a log file, can I delete it and make a new
empty file called MEMORY.DMP?

Just delete the file MEMORY.DMP. This is created with Dumprep.exe

Dumprep.exe = Windows Error Reporting Dump Reporting Tool

If you have no need of analyzing MEMORY.DMP files, 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)
| OK | Apply | OK

Write an event to the system log = dumprep 0-k

If you have other 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: sevices.msc | OK |
Scroll down to and double click: Error Reporting Service | Apply | OK
