Hi all:
I have a Vista Ultimate x64 home-built pc that I am very pleased with but
have a question about a continual massive build up of "windows error
reports". When I select "disk clean-up" it reports large amounts of space
used. For instance.....I installed a program to keep track of the hard
drives SMART data and after the install Windows reported it may not have
installed right. I clicked it did. I then used the program for a couple of
days and when I checked in Disk cleanup it reported 275 MBs of space used for
"error reporting". Since that hadn't happened before, I uninstalled the
program and cleaned up the wasted space with Disk Cleanup. I don't
understand how that much space could be used for error reporting. When I
checked in system information under software for Windows error reporting
there were only 4 entries, none regarding the "problem program" and all
dated prior to the installation of that hardware. Has anyone else noted
large amounts of "system queued Window Error Reporting..." when they used
Disk Cleanup? My errors are usually caused by trying to open a program
before Windows has completely loaded after a re-boot or shutdown. It's hard
to tell when Windows is really "done" loading......there is no spinning
circle or indication that it isn't quite ready for hard work! (Like
connecting to the internet or opening live tv in Media Center).
Anyway.......there seems to be something wrong with Vista if it can store
that many MBs of reports when it detects and error. You could fill up a hard
drive pretty fast if you never used disk cleanup? Is my case unique or have
others noticed a build up of "Error Reports"? Right now, after cleaning up
"error reports and re-starting, I have 3.23 MBs of reports stored and
everything seems to be working fine! What's up?
