I think "716" is the process ID, so yes, that would change.

An unhandled exception is an error. It could be caused by some non-CVSNT code that cvs.exe invokes, or it could be in CVSNT. But why is just-in-time debugging enabled on a server in the first place? JIT debugging is inherently an interactive operation, and the conceptual distinction between "server" and "workstation" is that the former runs unattended. Obviously in practice that's not always observed, and Microsoft's branding of OS releases as "server" and "workstation" confuses the issue, but if this machine is actually a server - if it's running critical processes without a user sitting in front of it - then you don't want to enable features that pop up dialogs looking for user intervention. What you want is a system unhandled-exception handler that doesn't require user intervention, such as Dr Watson. You can make Dr Watson the handler by running "drwtsn32 -i". For more information, run drwtsn32 and read the help. There's also Microsoft KB article KB308538, but it contains basically no useful information. When you get a Dr Watson log, that should help track down the bug. -- Michael Wojcik Principal Software Systems Developer, Micro Focus
