Send, Don't send. Windows XP help, yes I know, Get linux, problem solved

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?!".

I'm like wtf anyways

Windows ME doesn't count.

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.
