SF Diagnostic Tool - Using for Troubleshooting

Using SF Diagnostic Tool v5 For Troubleshooting

   Information
The SF Diagnostic Tool and SF Debug Tool is used to collect diagnostic information from your computer required to analysis Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) and other troubleshooting purposes for Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.

You must be logged in as an administrator to be able to use either tool.

   Note
SF Diagnostic Tool created by Shyam (Capt.Jack Sparrow).

Changelog for 5.0.0.6
  • Fixed typo in button
  • Added DXDIAG log
  • Added System Info Log - Log will also contain product ID, I was told with product ID we could find if Windows is genuine or not.
  • Minor bug fixes
   Warning
Some antivirus or firewall programs may detect SF Diagnostic Tool as a Trojan. It's just a False positive because the publisher is unknown.

There is nothing to worry about as the SF Diagnostic Tool is 100% safe and will not harm your computer.




Here's How:

1. Click/tap on the Download button below to download SF Diagnostic Tool.

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.

7. ZIP the SF_DD_MM_YYYY folder, then rename the ZIP folder to your user name here at Vista Forums, Seven Forums, or Eight Forums.

8. When you are finished, you can close the SF Diagnostic Tool.

************** 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.

So..... I just used driver verifier via the Start menu and it crashed like a million times. I finally got it to stop and now I'm using this tool to collect everything and zip it up. I got the window where it said "Event logs Copied SUccessfully" and I clicked okay... but the window is still there, and nothing seems to be happening with the tool. WHen I try to go to the other window, it automatically puts the SF Diagnostic Tool window on top, so I can't click okay on that window anymore. Do I just let this sit?

Hi,

Re:SF Diagnostic Tool v5 For Troubleshooting: I'm afraid this just hangs at about 1/3 green line.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Thanks for the quick response. I'm really trying to learn more about diagnosing BSOD. I'm leaving work right now for the weekend, but I'll start again on Monday. Thanks again for the help and I'm looking foward to learning as much as I can from this forum.
