Here are some files that Tacview Support might ask you for.

Tacview Log
The last 10 logs of Tacview are saved in your %TEMP%/Tacview/ folder. Paste that path into Windows Explorer to find the folder. Make sure you are sending a log of a flight where the issue occurred.

List of running processes
Use Windows Powershell to get a list of all processes running on your workstation, along with their full paths.

In the Widows Start Menu, start typing Powershell and click on Windows Powershell when it pops up.

Run the command below (this will create a file C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\Downloads\process-list.txt, change that path if desired)

I don't know how to do this from the command line - if anyone knows please teach me!

"The application has encountered a critical error."
If you get an error message similar to the one below, please read it carefully! It includes a path to a very useful file called XtraLib-CrashReport.dmp.
