Turn-off the 'Would you like to send an error report?' March 5 2007
Q: I am tired of those ‘Would you like to send an Error Report’ windows coming up when a program crashes in Windows. Is there a way to turn it off?
A: It’s bad enough that your program crashed while you were probably doing something important that you are then prompted to send a post-mortem back to the mother ship – as if they will provide an immediate remedy.
If you want to minimize the inconvenience of dealing with the Error Report by turning it off in this situation, what you do:
In Windows:
1. Right Click your ‘My Computer’ icon (either on your desktop or Start menu)
2. Select ‘Properties’
3. Click the ‘Advanced’ tab
4. Click the ‘Error Reporting’ button
-In the ‘Error Reporting’ window
5. Select ‘Disable error reporting’
6. Click ‘OK’
7. Click ‘Apply’
8. Click ‘OK’
That’s it!
