    from what I see, only small and kernel dump are available, is there a way to get a full one, or to enable this possibility somewhere in the registry or GP ? thanks.

    If your machine has more than 2 GB of RAM, the complete dump option is not available from the user interface. You can set this type of dump via the registry, though:

    thanks for the feedback guys, someone on another forum gave me this tip:

    Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl
Value: CrashDumpEnabled
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1
    so I changed the value from 2 to 1 and I now have "complete memory dump" added in the list. OK this said I got 3 GB of RAM and this will/would make a huge file, now I see why this was disabled by default.

    Also be sure your paging file is at least 1MB larger than the total physical memory in your machine or the crash cannot be captured.
