re: Why should I do that? Friday, July 11, 2003 at 9:19 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by grumpy (2 messages posted) Thank you!!! I didn't know how to get it to stop that annoying behavior, but for the last year I've been annoyed by those messages. I DO NOT want my machine to report anything to microsoft (forcing me to contact them to 'activate' my purchased software was about as much contact with them as I wanted... OK, actually that was more contact than I wanted...). Yet with the box that asks you to send reports, there is no indication that you can turn it off. And trying to search by keyword to find out how has been frustrating. Finally this time I have found a way how (thanks to you). Thanks again. And to those who say 'this is common sense you *should* send you reports to them', I can only say, Up Yours. My machine is mine. They don't own me or my crashes. If they want info on how their OS works, then they can test it, or ask me for my cooperation in testing it. Don't force me. 'it isn't forcing' I hear you say. Well damn, if I hit any default key, then it sends the report, and that isn't asking, if you ask me (though you didn't ask me, and neither did MS) On Monday, December 16, 2002 at 11:31 pm, Ariez wrote: >Guess you 've found it aleady but anyway: System > Advanced (tab) > Error Reporting > disable error reporting. > > Written in response to: re: Why should I do that?
