Enable/Disable Error Reporting in Windows XP

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] [OK] or [Start] [Run] [Regedit] Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting Modify/Create the Value Name according to the Value Data listed below. Data Type: REG_DWORD [Dword Value] // Value Name: DoReport Value Data: [0 = Don’t Send Reports / 1 = Do Send Reports] Exit Registry and Reboot
