Thanks for all the good information! One more question: Would you just
leave it on the startup items or would you follow the information that
you gave me on how to get rid of it? Is there a best answer on whether
to leave it or get rid of it?

log when the system stops unexpectedly.

an Office XP or Internet Explorer 6 crash where you were prompted

dumprep ) -k (is the item)
%systemroot$\system32\dumprep 0 -k (is the Command)
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run (is the Location)
Why is the above in the Startup items and would it have anything to do
with some problems that I was having with a driver conflict between
two drivers (thay were using the same twain device) that I think I
have resolved? Would there be a problem with getting rid of this
Startup Item or is it there because it is needed and should be there?
