Notes
If the generated user dump or the file created by adplus has the size 0 KB, you have to change the page file of Windows. Detailed information is available from Microsoft under the article number 2860880. Another reason for this might also be a resource load problem.
You can also lucrate a memory dump later. However, this memory dump is a snapshot and does not include the sequence of events leading to the fault.
In Windows 7 and higher you făcute other user dumps later with the Windows Task Manager.
