How to configure registry keys to generate the memory dump file

Dump files are created when an error occurs for which there is additional information that would be useful in diagnosing a problem (such as internal control blocks). Every data item written to the dump files has a timestamp associated with it to help with problem determination. Dump files are in binary format and are intended for DB2(R) customer support representatives.

This post provide computer help for how to windows use dumb file and how to create dump file.
You can configure entries under the following registry subkey to generate the memory dump file:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\i8042prt\crashdump The REG_DWORD entries are as follows:

Dump1Keys
Dump2Key

The Dump1Keys entry is a bit map of the modifier keys to use. The values are as follows:
#define CRASH_R_SHIFT 0x01
#define CRASH_R_CTRL 0x02
#define CRASH_R_ALT 0x04
#define CRASH_L_SHIFT 0x10
#define CRASH_L_CTRL 0x20
#define CRASH_L_ALT 0x40

The Dump2Key entry is the index into the scancode table for the keyboard layout. The following is the actual table in the driver.

const UCHAR keyToScanTbl[134] = {

Test drive: Windows 7 on a Netbook Computer

Still semijetlagged from Las Vegas, one of the very first items on our to-do list was to install the now widely available Windows 7 beta on a Netbook.

From off-the-record conversations with PC makers during CES, we heard that Windows 7 played well with systems motorized by Intel's Atom CPU--which is something we generally can't say about Vista. (Although it's also worth noting that Vista, while making for a somewhat sluggish user experience, actually performed reasonably well in benchmark testing on Sony's new Vaio Lifestyle PC minilaptop, which combines an Atom with a more appropriate 2GB of RAM.)

We quickly installed the 32-bit version of Windows 7 on a typical Netbook. The installation went smoothly, and the OS seemed to run well at first glance, but our wireless card wasn't detected initially. We eventually got that sorted out, and ran our iTunes benchmark test for a quick speed comparison (our test system had an Intel Atom CPU, 1GB of RAM, and an 80GB 5,400rpm HDD).

As the iTunes test is CPU focused, we weren't totally surprised to find similar scores, with XP completing the test in 743 seconds, and both Vista (with graphics options set for Vista Basic) and the Windows 7 beta hitting 760 seconds. (Note: lower scores indicate better results.)
While our quick benchmark testing did not show a Win 7 advantage, we can say that in anecdotal use, the Windows 7 interface responded quicker and hung less frequently than Vista, where just opening the Start Menu or My Documents folder can be a slog. We're cooking up some additional tests right now, and will report their results shortly.

It remains to be seen if Windows 7 is really a viable candidate for Netbooks (although Microsoft is purportedly working on a Netbook-specific build of the new OS), but if it is, this may finally give Microsoft the excuse it needs to retire the long-serving XP operating system. In the slide show below, you can see some photos of Windows 7 up and running on our test Netbook.

A new Breed of Computer Technician

Let's face it; technology has taken society to places inconceivable by our forefathers. IT has revolutionized everything from the way we live and do business to the way we operate health care and medicine.

During the period between 1990 and 2002, Statistics Canada found that the Computer Technician industry employment grew four times faster than the rest of the economy at an average annual rate of 4.3% compared to 1.3% for all other industries (Statistics Canada - Catalogue No. 56F0004MIE). This means Computer technicians were needed within the Canadian workforce more so than any other profession.

Although computers and technology has enhanced our standard of living immensely, IT technicians are still not regarded with the prestige and respect they have struggled to earn over the years.

These days computer technicians are highly trained and experienced personnel, owning degrees from Ontario's leading universities. In fact, Ontario's newest university is a university fully committed to training the future's technicians by combining the excellence of traditional university with career focused learning and preparation for productive leadership roles. The University Of Ontario Institute Of Technology is the fastest growing university and is most likely the most wired campus in Canada because all classes are networked and every student is required to have an IBM laptop.

The problem resides in the fact that technology and the average person only mix in a superficial way. For the most part, as long as the technology works people are happy. Like our bodies, technology is fragile and likely to falter. When our bodies fail we see our doctor for a diagnosis so we can obtain the proper course of action to repair ourselves. With IT, if our equipment isn't working properly we see a technician to diagnose the issue. I understand there is a major difference between healing the body and fixing an object which is why when a technician uses acronyms and unfamiliar words, it feels a little unsettling. It's not viewed as highly educated and respectable, but rather geeky and condescending.

Cybernomics strives to instill confidence by employing technicians who hold computer science degrees and come bearing individual specialized certifications to provide all of our clients with a full range of expertise and care.

By providing a 24 hr outsource solutions for your business' IT needs, we simply take care of the part of your business that you don't want to, eliminating the hassles and irritations that people have when dealing with technology. Our technicians are not only efficient but strive to alter people's perception and combat the negative stereotypes the industry poses upon them. They provide computer repair services online via phone or remote login.

Like a family doctor, we do everything in our power to ensure our clients receive optimal care serviced by qualified professionals, and see that they are not affected by any infectious viruses.
