I disable the error reporting, but I still get the report to microsoft when I try to download Adobe Reader 9.

Is someting else I can do?

After applying software restriction policy, when the user access the particular program an error message shows “Windows cannot open this program because it has been prevented by software restriction policy” . I want to stop showing this error message, because I don’t want the user know that it had been restricted through software restriction policy by the admin

This is one of those “It’s so easy I could have figured out myself… but didn’t”.

Anyway, thanks for explaining it.

Disable those annoying “X Application has Encountered a Problem and Must be Shut Down” messages in Windows XP. Try to find as shown on your diagram but on SP2 seem not to be able that particular facility.

I am running XP Pro SP2 on a PC with SATA interface. I just installed MS Office 2007 Pro and started getting the COM Surrogate error message. I can boot with a different drive with Office 2000 Premium on it and I don’t get the error. Both drives have WMP v11. Booting to the drive w/2007, I disabled error reporting and the problem seems to have gone away.

Thanks for the tip.
