Process crash dump

[Bob Altman]

I have an application that runs a bunch of programs. Occasionally, one of the
programs dies a horrible death due to a coding error of some sort in the
program. As things are configured today, when one of these programs dies, it
simply disappears from the computer, leaving behind no trace of why it died.

Can someone please tell me how I can configure my Windows XP Pro computer so
that these programs will leave behind a process memory dump that I can examine
with windbg if the program exits as a result of an unhandled exception?

TIA - Bob

Try using "Doctor Watson". Type 'drwtsn32' in menu start / run. Check its help
to learn how to configure it.
