Is there anyone actually sending error reports to Microsoft

I think this you tube clip explains exactly why you should ALWAYS send the messages

Nope never send error reports. Do they even look into it?

 

SUUUREEE They do! Didn't you see the you tube video? What you don't believe it? ... LOL!!!

 

Why don't we believe it??? Because we keep getting the same errors(which are though to have been reported)

 

I always send them the report. If it helps them make windows better, then great!

 

Ahhaah, they must have billions of requests by now. Especially from IE

 

I think the trained monkey at Microsoft was taught to just delete all error reports as they come in.

Imagine the load of reports they get on a daily basis. Allowing us to report errors is probably nothing more then a comforting gesture by Microsoft that is intended to make it appear Microsoft cares.

 

I never send those. Those reports probably go the same place the pneumatic tubes do in Lost.

 

Yes, but very rare I get an error, and it's 3rd party software's fault

 

You hit it right on the head

 

Most errors are the result of 3rd party software, not XP itself :\
I barely ever got error reports when I was on my old desktop that had XP :]

 

Whenever I get errors in IE, Visual Studio or SQL Server I usually report the error unless I am in a rush.

 

DON'T SEND ERROR REPORTS!

Fixing your error is the last thing on the list that the error report checks. The main reason they have them is to check if you are running a legit version of Windows and other MS programs. I have a source inside MS who confirmed this to me and also you can read about it on anywhere on the web.

 

on beta errors of course, but disable the sending error from your pc ...its aheadache

 

I crash when using my yahoomessenger I dunnno how to fix I send error many times 4weeks not fixed yet

 

That's not our concern then, we're not talking about pirated stuff.

 

I never send out those annoying messages to Microsoft. It is very annoying to me and always press cancel anyway. Theres no reason to send them to them anyway. Any bug found always leads to two more bugs being found.

 

simply disable "error reporting" service - Do not waste time - its the only solution.

 

That is bull crap!
You should send error reports whenever it fails. They don't use it for finding out who is running a legit copy.
They actually DO look into the reports, and use them as input for a next service pack or version of the product (not for immediate fixes).

 

I never do it.....and I hate it when the computer downloads a useless update that seems to slow the system down.
