Most of the people know when the Windows system is hung, it may generate a ‘memory dump file’ and the dump file normally is located under C:\Windows\ directory. This dump file is named as “memory.dmp” (this setting is set by default in Windows). This configuration is basically provided in-depth information on why the system goes down, and what is the cause of the system hung. For those technical support guys, sometimes you may need to deal with dump file and send it to service provider such as Microsoft for further investigation.

But how about programs that hung? Can I also do something for that, so that I got some ideas on troubleshooting? Or at least I got something that can send to the program’s support team on the hung errors? YES, you can do that! In order to do create a memory dump for a program, you will need to download a tool called ADPlus.
