Default Crash.dmp?

I knew it! Anet HAVE placed something wierd and wonderful that gives me error 7s in my folder.....

....ok.. maybe not can anyone tell me what this is? Along with Gw.000 they are two files i've never noticed before, i think they may have been installed with the last update as i didnt notice them when i was copying over files earlier for GWx2.41....

Spooky!

It's a dump file for crashes that programmers or technicians can analyze to determine the source of a problem.

When you get a message on your computer saying that an error occurred and Error Reporting appears, the application that crashed has generated a crash dump. When you hit Send Report you in turn send the dump report to Microsoft so it can be analyzed. If the program that crashed was not a Microsoft program, they send the crash dump to the programmers so that they can fix the issue. Quite often Microsoft will also release hotfixes that help resolve the issue. This is why technicians will tell you to never disable error reporting or any services.
