Hi Guys
Very simple request today.
My PC has BSODed a few times over the last couple of weeks and in order to find out what has caused the issue I need to look into the dump files that are created.
How do I gain access to them?? When I copy the file path that is given it says access denied. I am an administrator which clearly isn't enough.
Thank you for any help.

I doubt you have access to visual studio or you probably wouldnt be asking this. Assuming that the non-VS way of doing it is described at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315263
Another helpful tool I have used when not having VS on a machine is BlueScreenView which is located at http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html
Edit: just realized you may be saying you cant access the %systemroot%\minidump folder? If you are an administrator it should prompt you to set the permissions so you can get in. If not, you will have to do it manually which may require you to take ownership of the folder, ok out of the properties dialog, then go back in and add the permissions.
