Would you like to send this error to Microsoft? No… and quit asking me!


Windows XP now contains a system that will automatically report errors to Microsoft. This gives them information about crashes that are unexpected and helps them to patch bugs. I am glad that people out there enjoy doing this to help the other XP systems of the world better.

I am just tired of my system asking me to do this.

This is how it is disabled:

    1. In the Control Panel select the System Icon
    2. Select the Advanced Tab
    3. Click the Error Reporting button
    4. Select the Disable Error Reporting option
    5. Press OK twice to get out of the Control Panel

    1. Click Start, and then click Run.
    2· Type msconfig to open the System Configuration Utility.
    3· Click the Services tab.
    4· Clear the Error Reporting Service check box, and then click OK.
    5· Hit Restart to reboot your system.
