Stupid question of the week....it seems to be slipping everyone's minds at work too....
What is the extension of the file for windows crash logs. Example: A program crashes, you then see the "send to Microsoft" dialogue box. You can save that file, but what do you open it up with? Notepad shows garbage info.
ThanX
ok you may want the full file.. and you did ask for the extension for that file.. that I don't know..
to get the information on just one event.. whay not just go to the EVENT VIEWER , select the error event you are interested in press the "Copy to Clipboard" button, open your Fav text editor and paste it there?
an example of of the info:

A customer of mine sent in the crash file without the extension on it. They cant remember what the extension was...so I have no clue as to how to open it. Event viewer shows nothing other then an app ending.
ok..I see .. my answer is definatly not what your after.. sorry
No worries, hopefully someone will :)
Are you talking about dump files? *.dmp? If so WinDbg from microsoft will open and analyze
I tried the debug program but that didn't work. Here is some more background info....
InetInfo crashed. When it crashed, it generated an application crash log if you will. This log could be sent to MS or saved...it was saved...but what do you read it with?
email me the file [email protected]
I really wish I could but its for a university and I can't tell if there is any confidential information in there. IP addresses etc....thats what sucks so bad. Oh well. I'll keep on Googling away. When I opened the file, the first line of text states garbled stuff with a mention of manifest.txt...whatever that means..
