Any MiniDump analysis experts here?

Awesome!

lmvm command only comes into play really when you want to see where the driver is located on the system, so you can have the member delete or rename it and direct him/her as to where it is.

lmtn command is always needed to see all the drivers to see what's going on.

lmsmtn command is the same as lmtn, only that it will now display the drivers in alphabetical order.

Good stuff.

Well, I think I'm also going to get started on BSODs. I'm seein a A LOT of them lately, and I've always wondered how TorrentG did it.

I've got 2 weeks holidays from this evening on, so I'll install the tools, find an old BSOD and see if I can find th same results.

I downloaded the Debug tools, and the symbols pertaining to my 64 bit Seven set up (a start, better than an empty symcache folder) a couple of weeks back and then, as TG suggested, I follow with interest.

So I follow a few and then I start to get to grips with the out-dated drivers.

Aha! Methinks, one day in a Eureka! moment, its your out of date thingymebob.sys that's causing the problem. (Smug) Now lets see what TG's answer is.

So, TG pulls the "Its your Avalonitux Deferender Anti virus that's causing the problem".

WTF???? I didn't see any mentions of Anti virus. Where did that come from?

Oh well, back to the drawing board.

Whenever I load up a minidump file to WinDeBug, I seem to be looking at "Debuggee not connected" in the adress bar for ages. Is this normal or am I missing a setting somewhere?

Yeah, it happens very often.

Simply type this in the bottom then press enter:

!analyze -v

Also, make sure that the WinDbg has permissions to access the internet if you have a 3rd party firewall.

Anyhow, did you set the correct symbol path in the software?

Aah! I've been waiting for it to do its thaing!I use the Windows F/W, I thought that might have been an issue, so I added WinDbg to the F/W's "Allow list".Yeah, I've got my symcache folder inside my Dbug folder at C:\. I also downloaded the Win7 symbols pack and loaded all the symbols that matched my drivers plus a few from reading some of the older Bsod threads. I though a small start was better than nothing!
When I run lmtn and look in my symcache folder you can see the list expanding so I'm getting them OK.

Nice, my SymCache folder is 879 MB at the moment...so many versions of drivers from XP, Vista, 7. heh heh

Hey TG! On one of the threads recently you posted a couple of links for drivers.

One was to a web site that gave a comprehensive list of drivers.
The other was a list (I think) of where you should go to get your drivers.

Could you post them again please? I can't remember which site or thread it was on!!

B.T.W. You also told someone how to manually install drivers (Device Manager> Device > Update Driver Software > Browse> My Computer > Let me pick > Have disk > Browse...). Thanks for that, I usually spend ages installing drivers as I forget the routine. It's now a "sticky"!

Not sure what you mean really. I post links to drivers probably 20-30 times a day.

The previous page of this thread has something like what you're saying.

You're welcome, about the manual install.
