What this feature does
Many Microsoft software programs, including Windows Vista, are designed to work with the Microsoft Error Reporting Service. If a problem occurs in one of these software programs, you are asked if you want to send a report so you can check for a solution. You can view the details of the report before sending it, although some files might not be in a readable format.
The Microsoft Error Reporting Service helps Microsoft and Windows partners diagnose problems in the software you use and provide solutions. Not all problems have solutions, but when solutions are available, they are offered as steps to solve a problem you’ve reported or as updates to install.
In Windows Vista, you can report problems automatically instead of having Windows ask for your consent each time a problem occurs. If you use automatic reporting, you are not typically prompted to review the information in a report before it is sent. However, no information is sent unless you (or your system administrator or network administrator) choose to report problems. You can choose to stop reporting problems at any time.
