I have a question about Stop Windows from asking if you want to send a report to Microsoft whenever a program crashes:

When I click on My Computer/properties there is no advanced tab to click on.The same thing with Control Panel/System(no advanced tab) Thanks for any help Robert

[Reply or follow-up to this message]

Here is what I had to do. In Registry Editor (Regedit.exe), create a DWORD value called IEWatsonEnabled and set it to 0 in the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

Now would this also work with Windows NT WKS that is running office XP ? If not does anyone know what would.

The error reporting dword iewatsonenabled solution stopped working! I have used this solution before and it worked for me, but now it doesn't???? I had to do a restore from my master disk, on a reformated hard disk do to the nasty klez worm (I opened it, so I guess I deserved it!) anyway, after getting everything back in order, I still have that darn error reporting crap, and I can't get it to go away with the IEWATSONENABLED dword solution... any ideas? carol http://www.atimealone.com

Why wouldn't you send the error reports? Microsoft actually loves getting those so they can fix the problems if the problem is on their end.

The error reporting has actually presented me with helpful solutions about three times, so I think it is worth the extra 30seconds of my time to send it.
