Oddly, on WinXP SP3 I had to do this-

My Computer
View System Information > System Properties box
Click Advanced tab
Click Error Reporting button at the bottom
Then check Disable Error Reporting

Done.
Hope that helps people who got a different look than described above. And thanks, Eddie!

Hi….

If the above still leaves you with annoying dumpprep messages
Also consider (Don’t go here if you are not too sure about editing registry) HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run
You may have one of the following reg entries
UserFaultCheck %systemroot%\system32\dumprep 0 –u
or
LSA Shellu points to a userproflie\lsass.exe
or
WSVCHO C:\windows\system32\svhost.exe (Not SVCHOST.EXE)

Also
HKLM\software\microsoft\Windows NT\appcompatflags

If the above reg key is present you will have a DEP entry in My Comp properties > Advanced > Performance > Settings

I have found removing the above reg entries then deleting all files in c:\windows\prefetch then reboot

Some of these entries are virus related (conficker comes to mind) and possibly a patch MS put out then withdrew.

Brilliant! Thank you very much. Force-closing of a program should be immediate, not having to kick your heels for 3 days whilst dumprep.exe takes over and makes a complete meal of things! What’s dumprep.exe all about, in any case? Isn’t Windows already slow enough, for goodness sake, without moronic side-apps like this?

My next PC will be a Mac! (irony intended):o)

I turned off the reporting a few years ago, but continue to get plagued by the dumprep bogging things down.
When I saw these notes, I went and checked it again – it is still turned off.

any other ideas ?
