How do you open a minidump file

Hi Chelle,

With a debugging tool and appropriate symbols:

You also need enough knowledge to interpret what you are looking it as much
of it is the cpu register contents, stack traces, machine language
instructions, and memory locations involved.

If you could provide more details on the problem you are having, perhaps
someone here can help. If you'd like to have me look at the dump file for
you, please send it to rick.DeleteThis@mvps.org using a subject line of 'per req' to
get past filters. Please only send the most recent one or two. A short
description of the problem is helpful, so please include it as well.
