I'm struggling here. I'm trying to diagnose some Vista BSODs and I have it set to create minidumps when it crashes. I installed the Windbg debugger tool and the Longhorn symbol library. My problem is I can't get the symbol path set in the debugger. The symbols were installed to C:\windows\symbols so I opened Windbg and went to File -> Set Symbol Source and put that in. But when I load the minidump the window is an big error message about symbols not being loaded? Tried this knowledge article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315263 and like most of this microsoft crap I'm having trouble figuring it out. Partly because it talks about needing a Windows executable image file for XP but I'm pretty sure that's wrong since I'm using Vista. What I am missing? Does it have something to do with the symbols being in a bunch of subdirectories under c:\windows\symbols like \ACM, \AX, \COM and I'm not passing the path correctly? --------------------------- Brian Weeden Technical Consultant Secure World Foundation <http://www.secureworldfoundtion.org> +1 (514) 466-2756 Canada +1 (202) 683-8534 US
