Win7 may not save your crash dump
This is a pretty big shocker to me. Based on your configuration, Win7 may not save a crash dump even though you’ve configured it to do so:

Definitely going to have to keep that in mind when asking for crash dumps from the field. And the argument about drive space seems pretty specious, especially since I just picked up a 2.5″ 500GB external USB drive for $100.
