send error to Microsoft

[Zack]

you know the dialog box that comes up when a program is
not responding? it asks whether you want to send the
error to microsoft. i've noticed that with windows xp,
this happens VERY frequently. perhaps xp is not stable
or for whatever reason i get that a LOT on all of my
computers running xp. is there a way to turn that off so
it doesn't ask me anymore and NOT send the error to
microsoft?

Hi Zack,

Right click on My Computer and select properties. Flip to the advanced tab and click on the button
titled "Error Reporting". Select the option titled "Disable error reporting". Additionally you may
also put a check next to 'But notify me when critical errors occur' so that you may be notified when
critical errors occur.
