Pretty sure that I did. Went to computer properties -> advanced -> start up and recovery settings -> then I changed it under write debugging information. Though I'm not completely sure that even if I was getting the mini-dumps to work that it would do much, wouldn't I just get a more detailed package of information relating to the failure?
Well, the info didn't say to do that, but it looks like you were following the 2nd answer, the best answer is the most recommended. If that doesn't work, run a DXDiag and send the report to us. Here's the link to the DXDiag: [DXDiag]
