My software group is trying to debug some system error messages and such.
Basicall, we are running EWF on a CF card. 2 drives. one protected and one
not. About 100Meg free on 2nd drive.
We have multiple COM components and services running. They think one or more
may be crashing and the application software dies when a service dies.
They want to be able to trap any pop up boxes and save them then reboot.
Can anyone give suggestions to anything that can be done programatically or
XP settings to accomplish this?

Thank you in advance.

David,

Beside 3rd party solution where you can record system activities, you have standard Event log that you can use to log all (or
specific type) message boxes: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/xpehelp/html/xetskEnableDefaultReply.asp.
If Event Log works as "saving" storage for you, then make sure you move the Event Log files to unprotected partition or do a commit
on protected one before reboot.
Here is info on how you move the event log file:
