Disabling crash dialogs
When a process crashes, a dialog appears saying "XXXX has stopped working. Windows is searching for a solution..." If I disable Windows Event Reporting, the dialog changes to "A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly". What can I do so no dialog appears at all?

Hello LevB, Based on the research,We can set the DontShowUI registry value to 1 to disable any UI ofWindows Event Reporting on Windows Server 2008. Windows Error Report settings are located in one of the following registry subkeys:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting 1. Please open Registry Editor via regedit2. Expand and locate the two above location.3. Add the following Key and set it to 1.Type: REG_DWORDName: DontShowUI Value: 1Please note: we may need to restart the computer to make the modification take into effect.Reference:WER Settingshttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb513638(VS.85).aspxHope it helps.
