You can use adplus to produce a crash dump for a running application. The command may look something like this:

C:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows\adplus.vbs -hang -do -o c:\ -quiet -pn theprocess.exe

You can also attach to a process with windbg and run this command:

.dump /ma c:\somepath\filename.dmp
