HOW TO FIX 'NOT RESPONDING' ERRORS IN WINDOWS.

When using Microsoft windows,we sometimes encounter a ‘Program Not Responding’ error which can be quite frustrating especially when an important work is being done.

Sometimes,it may even cause the System to freeze-up thereby forcing a re-start.
In the process,all unsaved datas will be lost.

Though,this problem is common only with Windows XP,as newer versions of Windows do not need a re-start to fix these kind of issues.

When this error comes up in Windows XP,a message box appears asking if you'd like to report the problem to Microsoft.
If you do not wish to,you can click on this dialog box to make it disappear.

So in today's write-up,we will cover the basic steps on how to disable this feature if you find it somewhat distracting and so also fix Windows when this error occurs.

How To Disable Error Reporting In Windows XP.

1. Right-click on “My Computer” and select ‘Properties’
2. From the Properties window,click on `Advanced́ tab and click the “Error Reporting” button.
3. Check the box next to “Disable error reporting” and leave the other unchecked i.e “But notify me when critical errors occur”
4. Finally,click on "OK".

That's all for disabling the error message.
Now,to fix the problem,follow the instructions below.

1. Launch the Task Manager by right-clicking on the Taskbar at the bottom of the screen and selecting ‘Task Manager’ or in the case whereby the system hangs up,you can access the Task manager by holding Ctrl + Alt + Del and selecting it from the list of options.
2. Click on “Applications” tab and locate the program not responding.
   You can do that by checking the status of all open applications.
   [All applications not responding have Not responding as their status.]
3. Next, right-click on the program to end and select “End Task”.
   ‘OK’ it.

Now,you can exit the task manager and see your OS fixed.
