Gather information

Please make sure to gather as much information as you can prior to sending it on to support. This saves both yours and our time.

Below please find a comprehensive list of things that make finding the issue out easier:

  • Application name, version information (build/beta/update?), when it was last installed.
  • Information about if the problem has happened only once or several times and possibly regularly.
  • Describe how your configuration is set up.
  • Information about any changes made to the setup recently.
  • Information on what type of content you wish to play.
    • When you have video issues, in what format, resolution and bitrate is it?
  • Full description of the problem, including relevant pictures, log files and timestamps.
  • On Windows 7+, a helpful tool is the Problem steps recorder.

  • When it comes to log files, we prefer it if you could send us log from DebugView. If DebugView log is hard to get, the in-application log could also work.

  • If the software seems locked or you suspect that an internal part is locked, a memory dump from the task manager or Procdump (Sysinternals) is helpful.

  • Use Procdump by opening the Command Prompt (cmd) and navigate to procdump.exe. Write for example "procdump replay.exe" and the dump will be created in the same directory.
  • In some cases, it is necessary to use Process Explorer (Sysinternals). Process Explorer is a more advanced form of the Windows task manager, which you can also see which program has a particular file or directory opened, and which handles and DLL processes are opened.

  • Information about the hardware via dxdiag.
    • If you have Windows 7 or 8, type in "dxdiag" in the start menu search field and click the button on the bottom to save all information in a txt-file which you can send us.
    • If you have Windows XP, click on Start > Run and type in "dxdiag" and click the button on the bottom to save all information in a txt-file which you can send us.
  • In some cases, a video file of the error or strange behavior is the best way to explain the issue.
  • Should a bug report dialog appear, please send it to us via the 'Send' button and explain what happened.
  • If a system restart or bluescreen happens, the Windows event log (application) is interesting to look at.
  • If there is a file under "C:\DiseDump" that matches the time of the error, this would also be interesting to look at.
  • When the issue is about reinstallation/reactivation, please provide us the license keys for the product.
  • We also much appreciate if you can grant us access to log in remotely.
