Saying that some program is "in my startup" says nothing about WHERE it
loads (Startup folder for logged on account or for all users, a
Run[once] key in the registry, a startup script, an NT service). I
didn't find it in my "startup" but then I disabled Microsoft's error
reporting service (right-click on My Computer and select Properties, or
use the System applet in Control Panel, Advanced tab, Error Reporting
button).

thanks so much Vanguard... I did have error reporting disabled, but critical
errors had a check mark.. I removed it.. thanks again.. Rainy

Why do you have error reporting disabled?

You don't want the problems to be solved?

Hi.. because it was suggested I do this.. and I have never resolved an error
due to error reporting, it just seems to be a nuisance... maybe for the
technical mind it would be ok.. but I don't have that Rainy

Okay. A bit of an explanation of the error reporting function is
probably in order.

Microsoft uses these error reports to build a database of errors.
Based on the frequency and severity of these reported errors they then
set priorities for detailed investigation to find solutions.

So the more reports that are received about a specific error the
better the chance that this error will be selected for investigation.

And if there is a known solution to a specific reported error then you
will receive an immediate response with that information.

I haven't kept track, but I would estimate that between 5 and 10
percent of the errors that I see getting reported, between my own 4
systems and those of my clients, do result in a response indicating a
solution for the error.

Hope this explains the situation.

Good luck

of startup... should both error reporting and critical errors have a check
mark? thanks Rainy
