I always run user-mode crash dumps on windows. You can read about them here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...=vs.85%29.aspx
Keep in mind when you are debugging the executable via this form, the Program Debug dataBase (or .pdb) file must match the executable that generated it. That means making a clean build (or rebuild) as opposed to just hitting "build" in vs2010.
Minidumps will show you the relevant information to the crash, Full dumps will show you the irrelevant information (and the whole program in memory) from the time your application crashed. It will show line numbers and is very interactive.
