Hi,

In my month long battle with "IRQ less or equal to" BSODs, I've become convinced that the culprit is a driver. I naively associated my dmp files with Notepad. Now that I know how to use dumpchk, I get an error saying that the file can't be opened. What is the correct association for the dmps? I believe I can track it down using pstat and dumpchk if I can only get the exception address.

Thanks

On my WinXP box, the .DMP file extension does not have a file association. And I do have a .DMP file on my system; it has the generic icon with it.
So I would go into File Types tab, scroll down to the .DMP file extension, and Delete the association.

Joseph,

I got rid of the association, but I still get the error that dumpchk isn't reading the file. I'll figure it out eventually. Thanks for you help.
