Disable Error Reporting in Vista

To disable Error Reporting in Vista click on Start and open Control Panel.

Make sure you’re in Classic View and double click on Problem Reports and Solutions.

Under Tasks click on the Change Settings link.

 

It’s worth noting here that if you choose Ask me to check if a problem occurs, error reporting is enabled but you get to choose whether or not to send the diagnostics to Microsoft. If you select Check for solutions automatically (recommended) then all data will be sent to Microsoft automatically. Since we want to disable it all together, click on the Advanced Settings link.

In the next screen under For my programs, problem reporting is…select Off then click Ok to close out of the Problem Reports and Solutions window.

 

Next you’ll see that everything under Choose how to check for solutions to computer problems is grayed out. Click Ok to close out of this screen.

Click Close on the message telling you that Error Reporting is turned off.
