I have a question about Stop
Windows XP from asking if you want to send a report to Microsoft whenever a program
crashes:
What is the effect of the "But notify me when critical errors occur" check box?
To test this option I made a small program in visual C++ that only divide a number
by zero (what generate an error).
When I run it with the option disabled, I get the same dialog than in windows 2000,
It's telling me that "The exception Integer division by zero. (0xc0000094) ocured
in the application at location 0x00401065."
It also says that pressing OK will terminate the program and CANCEL will run a debugger.
The name of those buttons are always confusing me.
Now if I enable the "But notify me when critical errors occur" option, another type
of widow apears. This time, my choices are clear, a debug button and a close button.
There is also a "click_here" link that gives many informations on the program version
and a memory dump of the stack. Unfortunatly, it seams that the cause of the error
(a divison by zero) appears nowhere in plain english.
Why do we have to choose between two different types of windows? And, why is the
option called "notify me" since we are notified in both cases?
