I wonder about the same problem especially the blue screen error message
when computer crashes. When it happens, you have no access to any capture
tool or it displays so briefly (before rebooting itself) that you cannot
even read a word or 2.

I'm on Windows 2000 Pro. There is Event viewer but I could not see any
messages related to the crashes I had before. There is also "Write
debugging information" in "Startup and recovery" of System properties that
appears to be related but I cannot where it was dumped...

Any way to capture all the blue screen messages (and decipher them)?


Thanks for the information,
