What do you do if a defect is not reproducible?
First step: By using some sort of remote software, you let the customer tell you what to do to reproduce the problem on the system that has it. If this fails, then close it. Second step: Try to reproduce the problem on another system. If this fails, make an exact copy of the customers system.
