How To Disable “X has stopped working” Popup In Windows Vista

This one is funny, even if you turn off error reporting in your “Control Panel” you will still get popups saying “X has stopped working”, that’s annoying…

To do this click on the Windows icon and where it says “Start Search” type:

regedit

Hit “Enter” and in your registry editor navigate to this location:

Computer > HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Stupidsoft (or Microsoft) > Windows

Click on “Windows Error Reporting” and on the right side, you will see a list starting with “(Default)”.

Double click on “DontShowUI” and in the popup under “Value data:” enter 1 and hit “Enter”.
Do this for: DisableArchive, Disabled, DisablesQueue, DontSendAdditionalData

Close your registry editor and go to:

Control Panel > Problem Reports and Solutions > Change Settings > Advanced Settings

Under “For my programs, problem reporting is:” select “Off”

Click OK and you are all set, remember though, this will turn off everything…

I hope this helps…
