Whenever Windows XP encounters a problem (that it thinks is serious
even if you did not do anything unusual) it creates a dump file. Next
time you reboot, you most likely see this error message. Clicking on more information
shows error signature and other clumsy details. Typically minidump
would be stored in \WINDOWS\MINIDUMP directory. It is not so easy to
decipher this information. Best thing to do is to go to Windows
Online Crash Analysis site at [Only registered users can see links. ] and submit
report ( or check status if you have already submitted the report). You
may need to signon with Microsoft .Net Passport and if you don't have
you may need to create one by supply some basic information about
yourself..
Following are some of actions that you can take to avoid this error from cropping up.

Temporarily disabling error reporting:

Right-clock on my computer, select properties, advanced tab, error
reporting button - turn on the "no error reporting" check box and turn
off the "but notify me" option.

Disable Virtual Memory:

Right-click on my computer, select properties, advanced tab,
performance settings, advanced tab, virtual memory "change" button.
Note down the current VM settings (system managed or any customized
size. Turn on the "no paging file" bullet, and press the set tab.

Delete the paging file:

Reboot. Verify that the option reads 0 kb for page file. Use folder
options on control panel or explorer "tools" pulldown menu & go to
"view" tab. Turn off check box to permit viewing of system files. Now
explorer on the root of C drive (or what ever drive letter you page
file was set to use), should show a pagefile.sys entry. Delete this.
You will get a warning message about this being a system file. Since
you have disabled virtual memory, this entry is not being used. Delete
it. Go empty the trash bin to make sure this entry is cleared.

Re-enable Virtual Memory:

Right-click on my computer, select properties, advanced tab,
performance settings, advanced tab, virtual memory "change" button ,
turn on the system-managed or customized paging file with the same
settings as you noted down earlier. Be sure to press the set button.
Reboot and verify that the paging file is active. Re-enable error
reporting that was disabled earlier. Reboot to verify that the
repetitive error message has indeed "left the building"
