If you havent already go to START > RUN > msconfig

now go to the services tab and untick the "Error reporting service"

Thanx...I hate getting those stupid messages...Like M$ is going to do anything with it?

Although I consider them a nusiance too, how do you think some of the issues compiled for the sp1 comes? It don't come by carrier pidgeon.
Update works fine, if you believe that M$ will come back to haunt those with "unofficial copies of XP" I know a bridge in brooklyn for sale too.
Hey, I turned it off too but don't believe the hype....:cool:

Actually, I get rid of that by going to Control Panel> Administrative Tools> Services and select "Disabled" for the Error Reporting Service. (or similar)

Sorry... Just couldn't resist... Also, this is pretty well-known now.

I have heard that Microsoft gets 60 gigabytes of error reports a day.

Also, I have dissabled error reporting but every time a program crashes I still get the box popping up.

Save the lines listed below to a file called "ERROROFF.REG" or whatever you want it called and double click on it when reinstalling XP and it'll do the work for you.
