It's not a necessary program, you can disable it if you want.

Under startup tab in msconfig I see dumprep 0 -k
Googled with no luck.
specific command line looks like this...
%systemroot%/system32/dumprep 0 -k

location is
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run


The OP can disable it, but a better solution would be to find out what
is failing and fix the problem. Since he didn't tell us anything about
the machine, I can only suggest the usual general troubleshooting:

I don't see him saying that he has problems with it, he only asked what it was. Even if you turn off dummprep you will still get other error messages or memory dump when errors occur, you just won't get dumprep error logging or the prompt asking to send the dump error log to Microsoft.
