How do you turn off the popup for reporting serious errors?

Hi

Try this:

Right click My Computer, select Properties, Advanced tab and then the Error
Reporting button.

Will Denny gave you the answer.
But you are better off dealing with the problem.

Also those message do go to help prevent the same error in the future.
Microsoft tabulates them and the errors that show the most get more
resources to resolve.
Furthermore if there is a resolution to your particular issue, you
will immediately be given a website with the resolution.
So by disabling, you are:
1. Eliminating a source of data that may help Microsoft resolve the
issue.
2. Eliminating a chance you have for a quick resolution.

By fixing the problems(s) being reported, obviously. Did you
think the error messages were appearing just to annoy you?

What a dumb answer Bruce. Error reporting can be disabled by going to control
panel--system--advanced tab--error reporting.

Whether Bruce stated it nicely enough for you really is not the issue.
The point is to resolve the issue instead of bury the issue where it
will come back.

Hopefully the original poster will return and read the responses. It will then
be resolved don't you think?

I know that in theory you report to get bugs fixed. But several questions
that I have asked in there newsgroups concedes that some problems have been
around for years without going away, hence the 'workarounds' offered by
some sites.
