Stop the Error Reporting Service
If you are tired of reporting errors to Microsoft or being prompted to, turn that service off.
When an application error occurs with your computer, Windows XP tries to send an error report to Microsoft; it asks for your permission with an annoying little pop-up box that you’ve probably seen. You can disable or stop this service to prevent the box from appearing, and to stop the reporting of errors. If you’re into your privacy, or just want a little peace and quiet, disable or stop the Error Reporting Service:
1. From the Services console, double-click Error Reporting Service.
(Remember, in Windows XP Home, the Services console can be
opened by clicking Start | Search and searching for and opening
the Administrative Tools folder, in which you click Services. In
Windows XP Professional, you can open Administrative Tools from
the All Programs list.)
2. To stop the service, on the General tab, click Stop.
3. To disable the service, on the General tab, in the Startup Type
options, click Disable.
4. Click Apply, and then click OK.
