Enable/Disable Error Reporting in Windows XP

In an effort to make Windows XP a better and more stable operating system, Microsoft has 

included Error Reporting in the latest release. Whenever an application has to close because 

of an error, it asks that a report be sent to Microsoft for study and evaluation. Sending the 

report is optional, but users can benefit from the error log that is generated if they wish to 

study it or print a hard copy. If you find error reporting objectionable and want it disabled: 

• Open Control Panel. 
• Click on Performance and Maintenance. 
• Click on System. 
• Then click on 
  the Advanced tab. 
• Click on the error-reporting button on the bottom of the windows. Select 
  Disable error reporting. Click OK.
