Are you fed up with this pesky error message  popping up across your screen from time to time? Would you like to turn it off so you don’t have to see it anymore?

In Windows XP , you have probably seen this message “send error report to Microsoft” and requests you to send the error report to Windows. This error-reporting mechanism helps Microsoft to study the problems you’ve encountered and correct it. So, if you submit your error reports, there’s a better chance that the bug that caused your error will be fixed in the future.

If this popup bothers you, there is a solution.

1. Right click on My Computer and select Properties.

2. Click on Advanced tab and select Error Reporting button.

3. Select Disable Error Reporting. You have the option to check the box of “But notify me when critical errors occur”.

4. Done- you are now error popup free!
