DebugView v. 5.0 freezes
It appears that if the file C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP exists, DebugView/UI will freeze completely if permission to open/read the file hasn't been granted. DebugView is also incapable of telling what it'...

DebugView needs administrative permissions to read crash dump files such as C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. If the tool is launched under a standard user account, Windows will block access and DebugView may appear to freeze while trying to open the file.
Running DebugView as Administrator (or having an admin open/inspect the dump) avoids this behavior.
