KernelFaultCheck And Dumprep In Your Startup
KernelFaultCheck And Dumprep In Your Startup
This is part of the Windows Error Reporting Dump Reporting Tool, and it is present in both Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. It shows as a startup item whose execution line usually reads as "KernelFaultCheck" %systemroot%\system32\dumprep 0 -k
The switch or tool dumprep creates memory dump reports that you can send to Microsoft if you answer "Yes" when prompted to send such reports. This entry usually shows up for the first time after your system has experienced a Windows XP "dump" crash, or an Office XP or Internet Explorer 6 crash where you were prompted about sending the crash results to Microsoft.
Unfortunately some supposed Windows technicians suggest that when you have Error Reporting set to ON it only causes more crashes. Quite a few of these tinkerers believe that this tool somehow interferes with both Netscape and Internet Explorer, and that if you turn error reporting ON, you will crash often if not sometimes always. This is utter nonsense. The only reason they are having a problem is because of poor system setup and management! Of course, in both Windows XP and Windows 2003 you can turn it off by opening the SYSTEM icon in the Control Panel, choosing the ADVANCED tab, and then click on Error Reporting.
