Doc Err: STOP Error Log File Stated as MEMORY.LOG

 * }

ID: Q128793

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.5
 * Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5

-

Page 157 of the Windows NT Server version 3.5 "System Guide" and page 158 of the Windows NT Workstation version 3.5 "System Guide" states the following:

  Notice that Windows NT writes the log file to the same filename (MEMORY.LOG, by default) each time a STOP error occurs; to  preserve log files, you should copy them to a new filename each time a STOP error occurs.

Page 158 of the Windows NT Server "System Guide" and page 159 of the Windows NT Workstation "System Guide" display a diagram of a Recovery dialog box which states the following for the Write Debugging Information To entry:

  %SystemRoot%\MEMORY.LOG

These two statements are incorrect. By default, Windows NT writes to MEMORY.DMP each time a STOP error occurs.
