for this value is REG_SZ.
/INSTR_ERRLOG_Z=nnn
—sets the maximum number of error log entries, if /
INSTRUMENTATION is enabled. If a number is not specified, the maximum number or
error log entries defaults to 32. Valid values are 0-127. The data type for this value is
REG_SZ
To enter driver-specific parameters:
1

from the Start button.
2
Type
regedt32
, then press
Enter.
