MORE INFORMATION
The Windows Error Reporting dialog box appears when an error occurs that causes a fatal event in a program. The dialog box includes an option to send the information about the fatal event to Microsoft. Microsoft gathers information about these types of events in a database to try to identify the cause. For more information about the Microsoft Data Collection policy, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
If you have disabled error reporting, you do not receive any visual notification when a fatal event occurs. If you disable error reporting, a Drwtsn32.log file, a User.dmp file, or both files will be created, depending upon the system configuration.

Notes
- IT administrators can use the Corporate Error Reporting (CER) tool to manage error reports and error messages that are created by the following clients:
- The Windows Error Reporting client in Microsoft Windows XP
- The Windows Error Reporting client in Windows Server 2003
- Error-reporting clients that are included in other Microsoft programs
If error-reporting clients are configured to work with CER 2.0, error reports are redirected to a CER shared folder instead of being sent to Microsoft. For more information, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
- If you are using CER, you do not see event ID 1001.
