    Sure ....

    Control Panel > System > Advanced Tab > Error Reporting
    This is the memory dump after a BSOD or app failure - if you really want to turn that off, rather than determine why your computer is crashing ....

    Control Panel > System > Advanced Tab > Start up & Recovery > Settings and under System Failure - Write debugging information select None from the drop down list.

    It's pretty interesting to Do the error reporting AND get a response back that fixes the issue....There will be more responses as time goes on.

    thanks very much
    my pc is abit old when i do to much to quick the app hangs,
    but i have to wait 5min before i can do anything else
    and i don't see the point when i dont understand the information
    i know the information is very useful to those who know how to fix things
    but me :confused:
    sorry to all you computer buffs
    but what can i say i'm impatient,
    i'm a really begginer as far as pc go so i don't know the ins and out of every process but if this just to collect info then it should be safe enough for me to turn it off

    if you say no i leave as is but do you see my point of veiw

    Secondly, go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > disable Error Reporting Service.
