How to Disable or Enable Error Reporting in Windows

If you are using Windows XP or Windows 2003, you must have seen a pop-up message asking whether to send this error report to Microsoft whenever a program stops working abruptly. Microsoft has included Error Reporting so that they can make Windows better and stable but this can be bugging if you tend to have more programs crashing every day. Microsoft also has provided an option to disable this feature and error reporting is an optional report.

To Disable or Enable Error Reporting in Windows, follow these steps:

Step 1: Open Control Panel and Click on Performance and Maintenance.
Step 2: Open System and Click Advanced Tab.
Step 3: You will see a box similar to this and find the button ‘Error Reporting’ tab at the bottom.

Step 4: Use the radio button and check box to choose your options and Click OK.
Step 5: You can either disable all error reports or disable trivial ones and send critical error reports.

Step 6: If you by any chance want to enable it again, follow the same steps and click ‘Enable Error Reporting’
