Actually my question was regarding any program crash, not just IE. But you reminded me of the Dr. Watson error reporting program. I have forgotten about it. Thanks.

Browse All TopicsWhenever an application crashes on my Windows 2000
Professional, I get the send error report, don't send
error report message. I don't recall always seeing this
message before. Maybe it's a feature with Windows 2000
service pack 3?
I know this feature is on Windows XP and you can disable
it in system properties - advanced tab. However, I don't
see this option in Windows 2000. I also tried the
GPedit.msc to edit services but couldn't find any options to disable it.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
