Sometimes, apparently on Windows XP, when something goes wrong with my app, Windows tries to help showing a “Send error report” dialog.
But to find out the real error it would be better for me to see the actual error message. Is there any configuration or log that I can look at to see what´s the error?
An old copy of
NTSDis installed by default with Windows XP. You can set the following registry keysto call
ntsd. It will catch all unhandled exceptions. IIRC, it is where DrWatson use to live.Here is a detailled how-to that will save the dump to a file. I prefer that method, but you can also have the debugger start an interactive session.
This SO question is similar.
