Windows 7: Unable to load dmp files for some users, any ideas why?

writhziden · 28 Dec 2011

I am unable to load the dmp files for whomeno in http://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...ce-7600gt.html

I have experienced this a couple times. This is what I get in WinDbg:

Code:

Microsoft (R) Windows Debugger Version 6.12.0002.633 AMD64
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.


Loading Dump File [C:\Users\Mike\Downloads\BSODDmpFiles\whomeno\Windows_NT6_BSOD_jcgriff2\122711-25718-01.dmp]

And then it just stops

I could load two of his dmp files, and I can load 95% of dmp files of other users, but occasionally I get the above problem.

Possibly your ISP, Microsoft's server's are busy? What version are you running?

writhziden · 28 Dec 2011

6.12.0002.633

I've actually had this problem all day, so it is unlikely due to Microsoft's servers being busy.

I am running 6.11.0001.404. It takes a few seconds, but finishes the analyze search in about 15seconds.

Has it been happening "just today", and not before today?
If you are on wifi, anything different there?
Any pets in the back of your setup? check wires.

I just tried opening whomeno's reports, and they took about 15sec. for each one.

A little off topic...
I have been meaning to ask someone, and it looks like your "it".
because I have not been able to find this answer.

Do I need to uninstall my 6.11 to do upgrades?

I don't know what is required to upgrade windbg. I should look into it, as well, or maybe I should downgrade? lol I left mine on for a minute with those files, and it still did not load. whomeno's are the only ones I've had issues with today. I've opened I'd guess 20-30 dmp files today just fine.

The only thing I can think of for now is whomeno's zip program is corrupted somehow or it does not meet standard practices, and once un-zipped become hard to impossible for the dbg to read. Thus causing the impasse when dbg submits them.

I am going to send a VM to John King, usamma or jcgriff about the updating, and see what they say.
I will let you know.

Thanks Anak. Appreciate the help.

Your welcome writhziden.

I did check with zigzag, and he tells me it is okay to install the dbg overtop an old install, as long as it is the same bits (32 or 64).

I found a solution to the problem. If it gets stuck as it did in my case, click Debug -> Break -> then click on the command line box (next to kd>) -> Type "!analyze -v" (without quotes) -> Hit Enter

Good to know!

Your thread may turn into a "sticky". "Debugging the debugger"
