    MEMORY DUMPS - REQUIREMENTS


    Enable automatic management of the Paging file
    WIN + PAUSE/BREAK key combo |
    Advanced system settings (left-hand side) |
    Advanced tab, Performance section, Settings |
    Advanced tab, Virtual Memory section, Change |
    checkmark Automatically manage paging file size for all drives |
    OK | OK | OK



    STARTUP AND RECOVERY SETTINGS
    WIN + PAUSE/BREAK key combo |
    Advanced system settings (left-hand side) |
    Advanced     tab, Startup and Recovery section, Settings |
    System Failure section | checkmark Write an Event to the system log
    | uncheck     Automatically restart |


    Under Write debugging information, select Small memory dump |
    in the Small dump directory: box, enter %SystemRoot%\Minidump| OK

    If Overwrite any existing file is checked, then:
    Ø Under Write debugging information, select Kernel memory dump
    Ø Uncheck Overwrite any existing file
    Ø Under Write debugging information, select Small memory dump
    Ø OK button
    If you get a crazy message from Win 7 about your paging file being too small, then just ignore the message since we have already made sure that the paging file is set to be managed by Win 7.

    ENABLE THE WINDOWS ERROR REPORTING SERVICE
    WIN key | type SERVICES.MSC | ENTER |
    Scroll down to Windows Error Reporting Service |
    Rt-clk on Windows Error Reporting Service | Properties |
    General     tab | for Startup type, choose Automatic |
    In Service status, Start button (unless grayed out) | OK


    ASSURE THAT CCLEANER IS NOT DELETING DUMPS
    CCLEANER | Cleaner icon | Windows tab | System category |
    Uncheck Memory Dumps
    · WINDOWS ERROR REPORTING SERVICE must NOT be disabled!
    · WIN | Services.msc | Enter
    · Under Name, locate Windows Error Reporting Service
    · If Status is not Started, then
    Right-click on Windows Error Reporting Service |choose START
    · If Startup Type is not Automatic, then
    Right-click on Windows Error Reporting Service |
    choose Properties | General tab |
    set Startup type to Automatic
    · Close Services.msc (I like to use ALT + F4)

    After a crash, the minidump file will be in %SystemRoot%\Minidump
    %SystemRoot% is generally C:\Windows
