Where to get DumpChk. DumpChk.exe is included in Debugging Tools for Windows. DumpChk command-line options DumpChk -y SymbolPath DumpFile Parameters-y SymbolPath SymbolPath specifies where DumpChk is to search for symbols. Symbol information may be necessary for some dump files. It can also help to improve the information shown in the dump. Actually I reccomend using Memtest on the ultimate boot CD. (F1, F5) This test is very intence and it is nice to have the full boot cd so you can test your other hardware as well. My laptop took a memory dump today and I was unable to find the dumpchk.exe to analyze the memory dump. I looked at my Vista CD and could not find the setup.exe program under support tool subfolder. Where can I get this executable? In this video, you will learn how to use the Dumpchk utility to validate a memory dump file before sending it to Microsoft for analysis.

I do not consider myself very'fluent' in computer, and was hoping someone might be able to tell me what the problem with the dumpchk.exe application might be, or what my next step should be.
thank you so much ahead of time for any help.

The dumpchk command allows users to view the Windows minidump files created when Windows stops unexpectedly.
Availability
Dumpchk is an external command that is available for the following Microsoft operating systems as dumpchk.exe.
- Windows 2003
This command is available for Windows XP, however, it requires that the Windows XP Support Tools are installed on the computer. The Support Tools can be downloaded from Microsoft's website, or, if you have your Windows XP CD, in the SupportTools directory.
Windows 2003 also supports this file but needs the Windows 2003 Support Tools to be installed. Download prince of persia for android.
TipIf the Support Tools are installed, but this command is not working go into the C:Program FilesSupport Toolsdirectory and run the command. If this works, you can update your path to this directory, so it works in the future.
NoteDumpchk Tool
