Ed,

If i am running Analyze v i am getting symbols not found and as you said if i do lmvl server and sym noisy and reload sql server.exe does it cause any hindernace to the sql server on the machine..

By the way for some reason it didnt create a text file along with this dump i have see it create text files with some other dumps but with not this particular one.

I will pm you a dump file..if you dont mind..

thanks..
