Doc Err: STOP Error Log File Stated as MEMORY.LOG

ID: Q128793

The information in this article applies to:
Page 157 of the Windows NT Server version 3.5 "System Guide" and page 158 of the Windows NT Workstation version 3.5 "System Guide" states the following: 


   Notice that Windows NT writes the log file to the same filename
   (MEMORY.LOG, by default) each time a STOP error occurs; to
   preserve log files, you should copy them to a new filename each
   time a STOP error occurs.


Page 158 of the Windows NT Server "System Guide" and page 159 of the Windows NT Workstation "System Guide" display a diagram of a Recovery dialog box which states the following for the Write Debugging Information To entry: 


   %SystemRoot%\MEMORY.LOG


These two statements are incorrect. By default, Windows NT writes to MEMORY.DMP each time a STOP error occurs.
