I am trying to identify where these errors are coming from...

For some reason my system in generating a lot of error messages that I
believe are getting sent back to Microsoft. I get these dialog boxes
almost every time I start up saying that various error messages were
generated and need to be sent.

All that I have determined so far is that the program causing the
problem is an SQL BPA command line. There error details are not
specific. I have an SQL Server 2005 Developers edition package on this
system as well as SQL Express 2005 that was installed with Microsoft
Accounting software.

I have had these for a relatively long time, but the error messages are
new within the past two months. I may have been caused by one of the
Microsoft updates, but I don't know how to prove that, or to identify
what is running an SQL BPA command line program for that matter.

I have read that Microsoft is no longer supporting SQL Express 2005. I
don't how that effects my installation of Microsoft Accounting and
whether I can upgrade to SQL Server Express 2008 or what... In any
case, I do not know how to identify what is happening.

Can anyone help?

The easy part first: SQL Server 2005 Express is still supported.

As for you error messages, it's difficult to tell when you do not
include much information about them. I sounds like you get the Dr
Watson dialog. There is a Details dialog which permits you view the
files. Looking at the files you may find that the dates are well in
the past.

On one machine I have, I seem to get a lot of Dr Watson when I start it
(which I do rarely) about perl.exe having crashed. I used that machine to
develop an extension to Perl and sure enough, there were crashes galore
before I got everything right. Why Dr. Watson want to send these reports
first after a reboot I don't know. This machine is running Win 2003, I
should add.
