-k is a kernel fault check
-u is a user fault check
Generally the latter is seen when a user changes the default options in the
startup and recovery settings to a small memory dump.
-s appears to be ShutdownEventCheck
The Windows XP-based computer may run slowly and you may receive Dumprep.exe
error messages

Hi,
My computer shut down right after windows XP starts. I checked out
msconfig and dumprep is running, also check registry, I find an entry
under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run which is
KernelFaultCheck. Is there any fast way to correct this. Thanks in
advance for the help.
