5.1 How Windows Vista Automatically Detects Memory Problems
When
Windows Vista analyzes problem reports (as part of the Problem Reports
And Solutions tool), it can determine that memory problems might be a
source of the problem. If this happens, Problem Reports And Solutions
prompts the user to run Windows Memory Diagnostics, as shown in Figure 4.
From this page, users can click a link to either immediately restart
Windows Vista and test for memory errors or to wait until the next time
the computer is restarted.
5.2 How to Schedule Windows Memory Diagnostics
If Windows Vista is running, you can schedule Windows Memory Diagnostics for the next startup by following these steps:
1. | Click Start, type mdsched.exe and then press Enter.
|
2. | Choose to restart the computer and run the tool immediately or schedule the tool to run at the next restart, as shown in Figure 5.
Windows Memory Diagnostic runs automatically after the computer restart.
