kernel fault check

Can anyone tell me why "kernerfaultcheck" is loaded on my startup?

it may be associated with a non-windows application that has been installed
with drivers that are not running happily in windows

if you go to device manager, you may find a yellow 'warning triangle'
against the device experiencing/causing the conflict

Is part of a debugging proceedure for a problem that occured in the core of
the operating system (maybe from overclocking?) Look for the file in
Windows Explorer, select the file, then click on properties and select the
version tab. If it is a Microsoft file, it will give the publisher
(Microsoft), file version, description (very short), and copyright date.

replace "at" with the 'at sign'
replace "mindjump" with "mindspring."
replace "dot" with "."

It's an MS entry used in debugging/creating a memory dump (Win XP, not sure
about other OS)-go to "My Computer/Properties/Advanced/Startup and
Recovery/Settings" the options are down at the bottom of the page "System
Failure/Write Debugging information", depending on what options are selected
here the Start-up entry will show up.

------------------------------------------------
Start-up item : kernelfaultcheck
Command : "dumprep 0 -k" or "dumprep 0 -u"
Description : Used in connection with memory dumps - you can disable these
by - right clicking on My Computer, selecting Properties and then the
Advanced tab. Click on the Settings button in 'Startup and Recovery'. In the
bottom pane - under 'Write debugging information' click on the down arrow
and then select 'None' - OK your way out
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: I leave mine enabled so as to create a memory dump for further
analyzing of crashes
