The following changes were made to WhoCrashed 3.00 since version 2.20:
No longer requires download and installation of WinDbg package unless running on Windows XP or older
WhoCrashed no longer needs to download and install the WinDbg debugger package from Microsoft. Only if you are still running Windows XP or Windows 2000 this

additional software packages. This saves installation time.
