Error reporting works by prompting you after a critical error in the operating system or in other programs and asking permission to notify Microsoft about it. This way, Microsoft can gather technical information about serious errors from millions of users, helping them develop fixes and service packs.



If you'd like to disable error reporting, follow the easy steps outlined below.

1. Right Click on My Computer Icon and Select Properties.



2. In the System Properties window, click on the Advanced tab.
3. Near the bottom of the window, click on the Error Reporting button.



4. In the Error Reporting window that appears, choose the Disable error reporting radio button and click the OK button.
