Hi,
This article is usefull if you have some problems about redundant dmp files as I have. I did all things in there but it didn’t work. Is there any other solutions about unnecessary (or redundant) .dmp files? Thank you.
jamsine, not sure I understand your problem .. your PC is generating too many DMP files? If so, I would simply let it it do his thing. Unless it breaks something you can simply ignore the files
