Just tried that. Windows can't locate it.. Nor can I find it via System
Info--->Tools.

When i run a search of the PC, only those shurcuts to the Recent folder show
up. Can't locate this file in Windows

| If memory serves, the fault log is only retained for a certain period of
time.

Hello Tom

At that key:

: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Fault

I see:

[ Default] ----value not set

Log File----"C:\Windows\Faultlog.txt"

I assume this is what you were referring to.

I hadn't altered the regisrty in any way.

As for TweakU, I dont have it installed AFAIK

Thanks:

-Ira

| Check that the following registry key exists:
|
| HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Fault with
| a string value in the Fault key having a value data of
| "C:\Windows\Faultlog.txt".
|
| Did you do anything that would have removed this value from the
| registry? If you have TweakUI installed, there is a checkbox on the
| Paranoia tab under Illegal Operations that enables this value when
selected.

Ira,

No, I missed that in your post. Other than a missing registry entry, I
have no explanation for the file no longer being on your system. Is
there some specific information that you wanted that was contained in
the file?
