crash with dump?
-
hi all, is it possible an application crashed but the dr. watson and windows event log not able to detect it? i have a server application running daily. it have a simple dialog and a tray icon. today, i found it disappear from the screen in lunchtime, just like being killed by taskkill.(the tray icon is still here) i cant find any eventlog for application crash and dr. watson have no dump for this, which suppose logged for the crash i found b4. i added taskkill in the scheduler to kill the application at 5pm and i experienced some strange behaviour of this schedule b4. (like it run a long while later than our schedule time..) so, i wonder if the killtask killed the application abnormally. i dont think it is a reasonable answer anyway! so, i want to ask u guys experience any an application crash but windows cant detect? (just like the application disappear suddenly, no dialog asking u to report MS, no eventlog and no dr.watson dump) and, i have tried to make another simple application with bug to crash and test in that server. the crash of that application able to create the eventlog and all the dumps i said b4... of course, this crash may not the same as the crash of that application. just want to make sure the windows started dr.watson and all debug monitoring tools. pls help! i just feel to frustrate this problem appear. i have no hint what happen... thanks, jim

I wish I knew the answer... I run Win2k Server at home, and it has never invoked Drwatson on failure. I've never seen any mention of it in any documentation, either - maybe that's no longer installed automatically as it was in WinNT. The failure of the Event log is more serious - that should have happenned on any application failure. I'll be watching this space just in case someone can give you an answer! Thanks for asking...

i have tested with another application. i make it crash. i can still see event log capture this event even dr. watson failed to get the dump. i heard that dr watson only dump for some problems will affect the OS. anyway, the event log and drwatson should be running. (at least, it can capture the crash i make) however, i just dont know my target application is really crashed or being killed by somebody.
