SUMMARY

For sophisticated and complex applications that run on Microsoft Pocket PC and Microsoft Pocket PC 2002, on some models of devices, applications do not run. Typically, the reason the applications do not run is a lack of address space in which to load a DLL. Other possible causes are a failure to allocate memory from the processes heap.

The Dumpmem utility was created to expose a process address space to determine what actions you can take to resolve the DLL load failure or memory allocation failure.

The Cedumpmem.exe download includes the Dumpmem utility already compiled so that you can immediately use it. The download includes source code as sample code.

The Dumpmem utility is designed for the Pocket PC, the Pocket PC 2002, or the Pocket PC 2002 Phone Edition. You must make minor changes to run the utlity on other Windows CE-based platforms. See the Readme.txt for more information.
