Also, crashdump doesn't work reliably on the MB, so thats not an option either without a lot of work I don't have time for. Is there a way to get ddb to save the crash trace and then reboot? I just really need to crashpoint and get the trace. Even just the crash point would be very useful. I can't have it drop into the keyboard for half the night, or to reboot and lose the info. Barney
