Error Reporting - Automatic
Windows XP contains a feature that allows your system to send error report information directly to Microsoft. This information is collected and analyzed to assist in spotting problems, and developing solutions/fixes for them.
This feature can be customized as to what types of errors are reported, and what information is sent to Microsoft, if you choose. Click Start, Run and enter GPEDIT.MSC. Go to Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Error Reporting. Various options can be enabled, disabled or customized here.
You can also disable error reporting, or change whether Program Errors, System Errors or both are reported. You can even specify which Program errors will be reported. Right Click the My Computer Icon/Properties/Advanced/Error Reporting and adjust the settings as desired.
Additionally, Error Reporting can be turned off in the Registry. Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting
Locate the Value: DoReport and double click on it. Change the value to your desired setting: 1 = Send Reports, 0 = Don't Send
