What with me being an un-educated dult, I come to this message board to ask for help, and I'm very thankful for all you kewl individuals. Just so you know.

Right, so on with the problem, whenever a program stops responding and you have to use CTRL+ALT+DELETE, windows asks you if you want to send data to MS and what not.

How is this prevented? if it can be prevented.

Right click on "My computer", choose "properties" then the "advanced" tab and click "Error reporting". You should be able to turn it off there.

Leave "But notify me when critical errors occur" on, so if an app does crash you won't be like "wtf?!".

Never send reports back to MS, nope. It's not like they don't already know how crash-prone their OS is anyways. It's not really that helpful having Windows tell you the error messages either, unless you can read a core dump / raw register contents. i.e., unless you're a human CPU. Best to just shut your eyes and pretend the crash never happened. Kind of like Windows does itself, I guess.

"My Windows Program v2003.0.6.5.5456 has just performed My Illegal Operation, due to My Shoddy Code. Please click My OK Button to close My Window. 0x09344958 0x03030405 0x09384756 0x00039844"

Only when I have to i.e. at university or as a virtual PC on my own PC :p And then, I like simple window managers like fvwm2 or twm, no flowery slothy stuff like KDE or Gnome :p
