re: THANK YOU for this tip!!! Monday, July 2, 2007 at 12:53 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Dan Sarandrea, MCSE (7097 messages posted) Windows XP's Online Crash Analysis is on my personal list of the 5 best things about Windows XP. Microsoft actually analyzes the data from the reports and has corrected quite a few problems. Just the other day a customer called to say that his normally very reliable XP Pro computer blue-screened as he was trying to work with a Lan Fax program. I remoted in and tried it myself, also seeing the bluescreen. After the computer restarted, OCA displayed a dialog box of what was wrong, what program caused the problem, and what MS KB I needed to read to fix the problem. Now that's a useful feature!!! (Turned out there was a problem with an incompatibility with a Ricoh Lan Fax driver and a recent Windows Update....off to the KB to get the fix, boom, done in less than 5 minutes.) This type of report-analysis-fix feature does rely heavily on people sending in those reports, though, so I would encourage you to keep doing so. Written in response to: THANK YOU for this tip!!!
