Hi,

I am running a program that runs for days. When it crashes, I have it set
up to restart and pick up where it leaves off.

However, on VISTA, a box pops up and says "XX has stopped working" and the
program won't start up again until I click the box.

Is there any way to disable the box?

Thanks,

Michael
 
Open Control Panel

Open Problem Reports and Solutions.

In the left pane, click Change settings.

Click Advanced Settings.

In the Block list, under Don't send information about the following
programs, click Add, and then find and select the programs for which you want
to stop reporting problems.

Click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or
confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

Hope that helps..
 
Thanks for the response. I have tried that and it doesn't seem to fix the
problem.

The boxes still appear.

I don't believe there's a way to turn that off other than not to crash.

Otherwise, why wouldn't badly written software want to set that so it looks
like they're not really crashing, just ... vanishing?
You might be able to do something tricky with JIT debugging to some process
that immediately shuts down, but this seems like such a hideous waste of
time versus trying to get that crash addressed.
