Error Reporting - Automatic

windows XP contains a feature that allows your system to send error report

information directly to Microsoft. This information is collected and
analyzed to assist in spotting problems, and developing solutions/fixes for
them.

This feature can be customized as to what types of errors are reported, and what

information is sent to Microsoft, if you choose. Click Start, Run and
enter GPEDIT.MSC. Go to Computer Configuration/Administrative
Templates/System/Error Reporting. Various options can be enabled, disabled or
customized here.

You can also disable error reporting, or change whether Program Errors, System
Errors or both are reported. You can even specify which Program errors
will be reported. Right Click the My Computer
Icon/Properties/Advanced/Error Reporting and adjust the settings as desired.

Additionally, Error Reporting can be turned off in the Registry. Click
Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting

Locate the
Value: DoReport and double click on it. Change the value to your desired
setting: 1 = Send Reports, 0 = Don't Send

Event Log
One of the administrative tools in Microsoft Management Console,

Event Viewer maintains logs about program, security, and system events on your
computer. You can use Event Viewer to view and manage the event logs, gather
information about hardware and software problems, and monitor Windows security
events.


If Event Viewer reports on startup that one or more of your log files is
corrupt, you can remedy the situation as follows:

Disable the Event Log service. Restart Windows XP. Delete the corrupt log(s)—Appevent.evt,
Secevent.evt, and/or Sysevent.evt—from %SystemRoot%\System32\Config (or wherever
they may be).

Your existing event data will be lost, but a new log file will be created when
the service is restarted, and that log will start to accumulate new events.
Re-enable the Event Log service, and start the service. If the Event Log service
doesn’t restart successfully, then restart Windows XP. You cannot delete or
rename the log files while the Event Log service is running.
