This is an annoying but easy to fix issue. As you may have noticed, every time a Microsoft program crashes in Windows XP, an Error Report dialog appears asking you if you would like to send the information to Microsoft. If you would like to disable these messages, then do the following:
1. Open the Control Panel
2. Click on “System”
3. Then click on the “Advanced” tab
4. Click on the “Error Reporting” button at the bottom of the window.
5. Select “Disable error reporting” in the new window.
6. Go to “Start” > “Run” and type: services.msc
7. Right click on the “Error Reporting” service and click “Properties”
8. For “Startup Type”, select “Disabled”
After this, you will no longer have to worry about a message window popping up every time a program shuts down incorrectly!
