Error Report - Send or Dont Send?

Anyone using Microsoft XP should be very familiar with the above pop-up dialogue box. Anytime the OS thinks that something might go wrong, it pops up this dialogue. It is very irritating to begin with, but I had a hearty laugh today.

I was trying to connect to my office network from the laptop and the dialling software failed and aborted itself. As usual, XP pops this question. This time I chose "SEND" and guess what? It throws up another dialogue saying, There is no internet connection!! Very intelligent software you see ;-) No wonder it is very popular with kids -- makes you laugh most of the times.

Sinoj,

You can disable error reporting in XP. Start button - control panel - System - Advanced - Error reporting - Disable error reporting.
