Hi Voomy,

hope you've sorted it by now. if not deleting the 'prefetch' file often helps. Along with going throught he windows registry of all .exe files and looking for any files with a date on the day when you believe the problem started. dumprep used to start off loads of callback proxy on mine to hog alll the cpu, and getting rid of the prefetch file worked.

Hello, I have a small problem with dumpreg.exe on my computer.

I have recently installed my Starcraft game on my new computer and there seems to be a problem. After installing the game i tried to start it, and after 5 seconds of blackscreen, my ZoneAlarm alerted me that Starcraft is trying to gain access of dumpreg.exe and then i pressed allow and the computer froze.

The only thing i can do at that time is close starcraft with task manager and also close dumprep because it's using 99% of my CPU.

I have searched the net for solutions, also been on the microsoft page and tried to take it away from "startup on msconfig" and delete it from the windows registry but the thing is that it does not appear in neighter of them so i cant fix anything that is not there.

That is why i write here, thanks.

Hi,

Basically Dumprep.exe is short for Dump Reporting Tool created by Microsoft Windows XP and this program is popup when your computer have some serious errors. This dumprep.exe report the problem to Microsoft directly. In your case dumprep.exe do its job thats why it popup frequently. I suggest you to run any updated antivirus application and also use some spyware removal tool to get rid of dumprep.exe problem.

Hope this may work for you

Hi Guise,

I got dumprep.exe error when I open video. Dosen't matter if it's windows media player, UltraPlayer Digital Media Player or winmap the following occurs when I try to open video.

Extreme Slowdown. This seems to be caused by several instances of dumprep.exe hogging resources.

I do not even use video much except for a few of my MIDI music tutorials, so I'm unsure how or why this happened.

Thanks for your help in advance, have been desperately trying to fix this problem.

I now have the same problem. It seems to be when I try to use hotmail, it says a script is causing it to run slow. If I try to end it the pc freezes up and I have to restart it. I looked at the processes running snd it is using up 80%. I don't want to mess with the registry but can't put up with this freezing up all the time.

Hello,

What is dumprep.exe doing that is taking so much of my CPU ? If it is supposed to end a program, why doesn't it just shut it off?

Anyone have an idea?

Hello,

The dumprep.exe process is used by Windows to create a report of errors as they occur in your system, as a text file. Upon serious errors this program will write the details to a text file and request the information be sent to Microsoft. This process can be terminated if you do not wish to send error reports to Microsoft.

dumprep.exe is flagged as a system process and does not appear to be a security risk. However, removing Dump Report Utility may adversely impact your system.

The Spy Boot database currently registers dumprep.exe to Microsoft.

This is part of Microsoft Windows XP (and later versions), in-built fault logging software.

get rid of dumprep
