Same here, more times than I care to remember :-[ Since RAM has gotten cheap it has gotten very t e d i o u s to FTP those huge buggers up, but they do get to the bottom of the problem, usually like you said a 3rd party filter driver.

Its that time of year again. Lucky you! :-) I've become quite adept at reading dumps and determining what the problem(s) are with specific instances - what driver faulted and why, what third party to contact and get a patch from - and MS has requested dumps from us on 3 different occasions with a 'teal' screen condition that ended up being a McAfee issue, etc. I'm glad that you've never needed a dump, Roger.
