************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
 
For example:
 
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
 
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
2, I have given the default location %userprofile%\Desktop as the default location. If it's not accessible then the tool will not work. If it's not getting created that means the default locations in the registry is messed up.

For some reason it keeps writing the log file in strange places. Look back and you'll see I and others have had the same problem.

SF Diagnostic Tools Freeze

I wonder why the main "Diagnostics Tool Window" freeze over the window that are mentioned as "Direct X Log file Copies succesfully". It´s now impossible to reach the "Diagnostics Tools" process where I am supposed to press "OK" each time a process is finished.

The only thing to get away with this is to press CTRL ALT DEL and end the "Diagnostics Tool Window" that way! But I guess that was not your intention when creating this tool which probably is a great one if you are able to follow the whole process without listening to this "ping" sound everytime the mouse reach it´s UI design!

How am I supposed to get through the whole process?

Regards
Jack

There´s no such thing as a file named "SF_DD_MM_YYYY" at my desktop, what am I doing wrong? During the whole process a lot of files with information is saved on my computer. But the file SF_DD_MM_YYYY just isn´t there. What happens?

Jack

(6. You will now have a folder saved on your Desktop with the name of SF_DD_MM_YYYY (SF_day_month_year) that includes the information from each button in the tool.)

Ok! Since I couldn´t find the SD Diagnostic Tool result file after the processes were made I decided to look them up one by one, save them and zip them before sending. Was this a good idea that can help you to help me finding my way out of all these Bluescreens. One strange thing is that the Bluescreen only appears when I render a 3D-scene with Lightwave 3D!

I'm not sure why you are having the problem, I just ran the tool from the desktop and it put the file on my desktop.

Are you running the file from the desktop as instructed in step 2?
