how to use !vm command

WINDBG
1

I have a kernel dump of a machine. The !vm command or !memusage command
don;t give me any information. I think the problem is because the pagefile
is ano available. I have couple of queries -

  1. The help for !vm command does not specify that pagefile.sys is
    required.
  2. How can I get info about mem usage if pagefile.sys is not available.
    Thanks

You do not need pagefile.sys to obtain information from !vm. You DO need to
ensure that:

(1) You are using the latest debugger
(http://www.microsoft.com/ddk/debugging)
(2) You are using the correct symbols (try using the Microsoft symbol
server)

If it doesn’t work, typically you would get some warning/error messages
telling you about what has gone wrong. That information would make it
easier for those on this list to suggest corrective action.

Hi,

Did you use windbg? if so, What is version of it?
If you got memory.dmp on NT4/W2K, please type “.load kdextx86.dll” in commad
line on debugger.
If XP/.Net Server, load kdexts.dll.

Thanks,
Futoshi
