I am working with a legacy VB6/COM application which sometimes causes Windows 7 to crash. I have now generated a .dmp file of one of these crashes using the ProcDump tool from Sysinternals. However, I have never worked with dump files before. Which resources would you recommend for getting started with dump file analysis?

Some more links that might be usefull
WinDBG and tools:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/
.Net extension for WinDBG:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/tools/sos-dll-sos-debugging-extension
There are some books such as "Advanced Windows Debugging" or the books on this guy's blog that can help.
There is also knowing assembler that you will need.
Use WinDbg or any other debugger. The above mentioned book is for WinDbg specifically though.
