Defrag Tools: #54 - IE Favorites Crash

The Discussion

• 

  Could you kindly explain (=write down here) what
  !procdumpext.dpx
  does exactly?

• 

  [06:05] - !procdumpext.dpx

  this is my favorite command. I love it 

  I used it earlier this day to find a DLL which crashes GPO editor:

  @loverboy

  run !ProcDumpExt.help to get the help and this shows you this:

    !dpx           - Equivalent of dps, dpp, dpa and dpu (combined); also class types (dt) and trap frames (kV)

• 

  OK, thanks
  But, using more words and building a phrase to explain its effect?

• 

  video download links (MP3, MP4, Mid Quality WMV, High Quality MP4 etc.) don't seem to be working (tried IE & Chrome)

• 

  IE10 works for me at the moment, but in Chrome they don't appear as clickable links. It's almost as if they are behind some other transparent element, and I'm clicking on that rather than the links

• 

  @JohnLudlow: that is exactly what has happened. I have a fix in the works right now, will post in a moment once it is live.

• 

  The new fix appears to have made it around, problem is resolved in my testing across IE, Chrome and Firefox.

• 

  Yes - all working now
  (I should have said I was using IE11)
  

• 

  @loverboy: Every pointer between @rsp/@esp and the stack base (by default), is looked at

  If the contents look like a string (ANSI or Unicode), you see dpa or dpu output.
  If the contents look like a symbol, you see dps output.
  If the contents look like a vftable (class or structure), you see dpt (doesn't exist) output.
  Failing one of these, the pointer is followed and the same is tried again (up to 4 pointers away).

  @windev
  Oh. That's an explanation!
  Thanks Andrew ;)

• 

  Is it possible to allow IE to update automatically similar to Google Chrome so users always have the most up to date versions with bug fixes?

• 

  @Bruce Leggett: You just need to change your Windows Update policy to auto-apply the changes (I do this on my server at home, it just applies them and reboots whenever something is posted).
