I am trying to use dumpchk.exe to examine a simple memory dump file (I used
userdump.exe to memory dump a running instance of 'cmd' to see what
information it gives.

I have installed the 'Debugging Tools for Windows' as well as the Windows XP
w/ SP2 symbols (for 32-bit), yet each time I run dumpchk, I get this error:
*** Your debugger is not using the correct symbols ***
*** ***
*** In order for this command to work properly, your symbol path ***
*** must point to .pdb files that have full type information. ***
*** ***
*** Certain .pdb files (such as the public OS symbols) do not ***
*** contain the required information. Contact the group that ***
*** provided you with these symbols if you need this command to ***
*** work. ***

I tried specifying the path by trying these commands:
dumpchk y SRV*c:\windows\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
cmd.dmp

dumpchk -y SRV*c:\windows\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
cmd.dmp

I also set the _NT_SYMBOL_PATH to
_NT_SYMBOL_PATH=symsrv*symsrv.dll*c:\windows\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols as KB311503 says to do. I still get the error.

I tried using symchk to check the symbols, and it tells me:
>symchk.exe" /id cmd.dmp

SYMCHK: FAILED files = 2
SYMCHK: PASSED + IGNORED files = 22

Any clue or help would be appreciated, thanks!
 
Why not just read the blue screen error message. Also since you quoted
none of the previous posting, we won't know what your problem was with
hunting down the original message,
