An Unhandled Win32 Exception has occured in ______

[machrider]

This has happened ever since I installed Visual Studio. How do I get rid of it?

I've searched everywhere, including this forum, but nothing has answered my
question.

Actually, to be more specific. What I want to do is have it display the old
message that pops up when something crashes rather than this unhelpful "An
Unhandled Win32" blah blah blah stuff that has replaced it.

Is there any way to get the old crash message back? I am using Windows XP by
the way.

In fact, you know what would be even better? The old Windows 98 style crash
message that shows you where exactly the program crashed and why
(http://www.atpm.com/12.09/images/guestpc-opera.png). Is there any way to get
an error message like that in XP? If not, the default XP one will suffice.
Anything is better than this Visual Studio "unhandled" message to me.

I meant Windows XP Pro SP 2.

Go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools and click on Event Viewer. Click on
Applications in the left hand column to see if there's an error or warning
associated with the message you saw. Also, check under System for any errors or
warnings.

Good luck

This is good and very useful. Thanks.

But even still, is there a way to get the old error message back?

Also, I do not see the program that crashed in the Event Viewer. I checked
under System and it was the same exact thing as what popped up (An unhanded
Win32 Exception error, etc.)

What's the exact error message you're getting? There may be something useful in
the "blah blah blah stuff that has replaced it". Also, what are you doing when
the error message appears?

Just out of curiosity, since you indicate that the problem first started after
installing Visual Studio, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling that
program? Also, have you posted this question to a Visual Studio newsgroup?
