Stop Windows from deleting memory dump files

This stops Windows from deleting memory dump files in case there is less than 25GB of disk space available. Check out this MSDN blog article for more information.

Display crash dump timestamps in local time instead of GMT

Crash dump timestamps are recorded in GMT. Enable this option if you would like crash dumps time stamps to be presented in your local time according to the time zone in which you reside.

Maximum numer of displayed analysis reports

If your system has crashed many times and you have many crash dump files available on your system it's a good idea to not include all of them in the analysis. By selecting a value here, you can limit the analysis process only to the latest crashes that have occurred on your computer.

Enable symbol resolution

Select this option to enable symbol resolution when performing crash dump analysis. With symbol resolution enabled, the dump reports generated will be much more accurate and contain more valuable information. With symbol resolution enabled, chances of finding the culprit driver are better than with symbol resolution disabled. However symbol resolution may take a long time to complete, crash dump analysis will be faster with symbol resolution disabled.
