Microsoft error report..How to SAVE 1

[Mezzzo]

Hi

I`d like to copy the data from a Microsoft error report.
I`m dealing with the OS system error reports. I`d like
to send the results to a programmer. It seems when I view
the form with all the error information...it does not seem
possible to copy and paste the information. If its possible
how can I save the error reports to my PC.

Thanks

right-click My Computer, Properties, Advanced, Startup and Recovery, and check the box to 'Write an event to the system log'.

That makes a record.

You can then review the System and Application logs. In addition, you make sure your application is listed in this error reporting. On the Advanced page, click "Error Reporting" and make certain your custom application software is added to the list of error reporting programs.

2. Enable the DrWatson tool:

For Windows XP, DrWatson log files are stored in the %systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson folder. The DrWtsn32.log file is appended each time a program error occurs; the User.dmp file is overwritten each time.

To turn off the Dr Watson debugger, apply the following Windows NT / Windows 2000 / Windows XP registry hack:

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug
Name: Auto
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0 disable DrWatson error logging
Value: 1 enable

To enable Dr Watson, you can change Auto back to 1 or Start, Run, type drwtsn -i.

Finally, in your \Windows\System32 directory is a .VBS script that can be used to create specific lists of events that are recorded. For use of this tool:
