			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At some point or another it happens: either windows blue screens, or an application locks up.<br />
With a little effort, there&#8217;s no need to feel helpless nor to guess at what the problem might be,<br />
debugging tools for windows can help.</p>
<p>below is a summary of some techniques &#8211; sorry that its not real descriptive. I&#8217;ll add to it one day &#8211; I promise..</p>
<p>In vista, you need to attach to the dying process.<br />
Launch windebug and attach to the dying process.</p>
<p>Configure vista or 2008 to always generate a dump file (for application crashes)<br />
Create key named:<br />
Hklm\software\microsoft\windows\windows error reporting\localdumps</p>
<p>Dumps go to %localappdata%\crashdumps<br />
Override with a Dumpfolder (string) value<br />
Limit dump history with a dumpcount (dword) value</p>
<p>!analyze –v</p>
<p>If this doesn’t work –<br />
Look at the thread stack for functions with ‘fault’ ‘exception’ or ‘error’<br />
Open callstack window – the look at the threads looking for stacks</p>
<p>~0 kb (inspect call stack of CPU0)<br />
~1 kb  (inspect call stack of CPU1)<br />
Lm kvmvpn* (list driver version?)</p>
