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?

opendump command, the debugger can read the dump files directly out of the CAB. However, if there are multiple dump files stored in a single CAB, the debugger will only be able to read one of them.

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.

You can use Microsoft Software Development KIT which includes windbg to analyze the dump files, but its required a large download, the simple application is bluescreenview which will analyze the dump file, and shows what module make problem here is the link.
