That "SuchandSuch.exe" probably is the name of your own application?

If the address lies within your own code, or within your components 
there you also have source code, then you can use Search -> Find error 
and you can easily jump to that address in your source code.

If the address lies within Windows DLL files, you are out of luck.

Most often when I face errors that are ourside my scope are in some way 
related to Windows Printer Driver problems. The error may even pop up 
sometime after using some erroneous or non-compatible Printer driver.

The second most common error lies within my own code. That error address 
does not reveal the exact place what causes the error. But debugging 
line by line, I can trace the problematic line that makes Windows DLL 
error to appear, and I can fix it or go around it.

Occasional errors, errors that appear only about once a week or two and 
only at the customer's site, they are the most difficult to locate.
