Answer 1

As others have mentioned, you have a 64 bit dump of a 32 bit process. We can see this because your excerpt shows 64 bit addresses and it has the wow64 module in the stack.

Typically you should try to get a dump of the correct bitness . The linked SO answer lists several options to get one.

Opening the dump file in the x86 version of WinDbg does not help. Even the x86 version can analyze 64 bit dumps:

The !sw command (load it with .load wow64exts ) or the .effmach x86 command can switch the debugger to x86 mode. Note how the command prompt changes:

To show the call stack, you'll now need the wow64exts extension. Also be sure to have set the symbols:

.load wow64exts
.symfix
.reload

Note that there is one call stack per thread, so make sure you get the right one:

~#s
k

In case of a crash, look at the exception:

.exr -1
