The File menu controls the scanning and display of minidumps.

 

 

 

File menu Load minidump... loads a minidump and displays it.

 

If the minidump is the wrong bit depth (32 bit when running 64 bit, or vice versa) then the other version of Minidump browser is started to display the minidump.

 

If any errors occur when trying to load the minidump, the load fails. This means that mindumps from ARM, IA64 and other architectures can't be displayed.

 

File menu Load minidump ignoring failures... loads a minidump and displays it.

 

If the minidump is the wrong bit depth (32 bit when running 64 bit, or vice versa) then the other version of Minidump browser is started to display the minidump.

 

If any errors occur when trying to load the minidump, the load fails to load just the failing part of the minidump and continues with other parts of the minidump.

This means that mindumps from ARM, IA64 and other architectures can be displayed, but may have incomplete information.

 

File menu Exit closes Minidump Browser.
