Actually, I just noticed a few days ago that there's a System Failure section in "Startup and Recovery" (System Properties->Startup and Recovery) that lists down what the user wants XP to do on the even of a system failure (BSOD?). Some options are: write event log, admin alert, autorestart, memory dump, and the dump file. By default the dump file is %SystemRoot%\MEMORY.DMP Then again, I haven't tested the (mis)feature.. My use of XP doesn't take the OS to the limit to make it BSOD -- I only use it for web-app/ATL Control testing, and VS.NET. stay cool. jeff -- -- Jeff Gutierrez Mapua Online! http://www.mapua.org http://www.mapua.com http://www.mapua.net Pinoy Ako!
