You're right, I thought there was a "disable" option, but I don't see one. There should be (even though I'd recommend against using it). > Nor any particular explanation of why the files would be so > huge.

The big dump files contain copies of the contents of large hunks of memory. The developers of the failing program can load them up in their debuggers and see exactly what's going on, i.e, what the program was doing when it crashed, the contents of variables, etc. That's what makes it possible to isolate and fix the error. Earlier this week I got a crash dump from an error we'd never seen before (and the program I work on has many millions of users). I was able to understand and fix the problem in under 10 minutes, and as of the next release in a few weeks, anyone who experiences the same issue will immediately get a notification that it's been fixed and how to get an update. > And aren't those covered under the 'dump' files under > System>Advanced>debugging info? I don't believe so. I think those are the blue screen dumps. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
