After some drivers were installed WindowsXP pro showed a black screen and
then did a memory dump, and this noe resides in a Windows folder and takes
up about 1Gb.
Can I delete this now that the system is working OK, because it is taking up
a lot of space.
Please help, Frank
Yes, if you have no need for the information contained in the Memory
Dump file then you can delete it.
To avoid this situation in future go into Control Panel - System -
Advanced and click on the Settings button in the Startup and Recovery
(bottom) section.
In the Startup and Recovery there is a drop-down menu under the
heading "Write debugging information". Your system probably has the
default choice of "Complete Memory Dump" selected. Change this to
"<none>" or perhaps to "Small memory dump (64KB)". But remember
where this setting is located because you may need to reconfigure it
again at some future time if, for example, a System Programmer at
Microsoft or a application company requests the you send them a memory
dump as part of the process of fixing an error condition.
Good luck
