Hi DCMan,

I just talked with a couple of developers here at Microsoft, and they told me that it is used by developers for code testing. They can cause a crash, and test their code for functionality.
According to them, it is not available in commercial versions of WinXP, only internal or hacked versions.
Since I have not seen it outside of here, I have to assume that they are correct

Take care....

how exaclty is that beneficial if it causes the same crash everytime?
curious

Hi Trip,

From what I understand, you can cause a crash where you want, then test your code for that module.

test it in reguards .. inorder to see how it handles the crash? perhaps avoiding bsod?
i can see how that would help, i suppose programming is beyond my grasp yet
