Crash reports

When a program in the recovery environment ends unexpectedly, O&O BlueCon offers to save a memory dump. O&O Support uses it to find the cause.

The dialog​

The dialog Application unexpectly closed suggests a folder for the dump file and shows the free space and the space the dump needs.

OKSaves the dump and ends the program
CancelEnds the program without saving a dump

The file name is OOBC-Dumps\<program>-<date>-<time>.dmp.

Dumps on X: are lost at restart

If the dump is saved on X:, copy it to a USB drive before you restart the computer.

Blue screens​

If the recovery environment itself stops with a blue screen, the stop code stays on the screen. Note it for your support request.
