The ability to report errors and program crashes to Microsoft came to be with the release of Windows XP and Server 2003. If you?re like me, your programs crash whenever you put more pressure on them than they?re designed to take, and you?re sick of telling Windows to keep the crash a secret and not report it to Microsoft. Even if you?d like to report the errors, Windows doesn?t check to see that your connected to the internet before even asking, making it another annoyance to dial-up users. Here is a quick step-by-step tutorial to turn off error reporting in Windows XP and Server 2003.
To turn off the Error Reporting feature in Windows XP/2003 do the following:
1. Right-click My Computer and select Properties.
2. Go to the Advanced tab.
3. Click Error Reporting.
4. Click the ?Disable Error Reporting? radio box, but select the ?But notify me when Critical Errors Occur?.
From this page you can choose to disable the error reporting completely, or you can limit it to just the operating system errors or, just errors from certain programs.
