If you are crashing in code other than what you have source code for (like in the standard C libraries or in the engine code) you can use the View->Debug Windows->Call Stack to see if one of your functions is on the return stack. Since the application crashed, you obviously won't be able to step out to this point, but you can still examine local/global variables in that function (your code) to see what might have led you astray. If you are accidentally stepping into code that you don't have the source for (like standard C functions or engine code) you can use the "step-out-of-function" button (the arrow pointing out of the 2 braces) to step out of the current function. You'll have to close the Disassembly window after doing this (unless you like looking at machine code/source code mixed listings).
