I only have an 80GB boot drive so http://superuser.com/questions/14648/stop-vista-creating-gbs-of-error-report-files I really need that space. Since they are listed in Disk Cleanup I assume that they are safe to delete. My question is how do I stop Vista creating them in the first place? windows-vista hard-drive cleaning share|improve this question asked Jul 28 '09 at 19:54 Shane Kearney 59148 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 2 down vote accepted From Control Panel open System Maintenance Open Problem Reports and Solutions. In the left pane, click Change settings. Click Advanced Settings. Under "For my programs, problem reporting is:" Click Off Click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. From Problem Reports and Solutions Click Clear solution and problem history Note: Doing this means Microsoft (and hence the software manufacturer they pass the info to) will no longer receive notice of problems occurring on your computer. So you won't receive fixes for those problems either. share|improve this answer edited Jul 28 '09 at 20:07 answered Jul 28 '09 at 20:01 Kenneth Cochran 1,68411316 I'm not a Windows user, but that's a
Calvin Guest Hi, I have a brand new Dell laptop and I am a new pc owner. First of all, I have tried to install service pack 1 for my vista home premium for 3 times but failed with the same error code ( 80041315 ). What happened was, the installation was complete http://www.pcreview.co.uk/threads/is-it-safe-to-delete-system-queued-windows-error-reporting.3566680/ ( 3 0f 3 - 100 % complete ), then a message appeared saying ' service pack is not installed - reverting back changes ' ........... and I have to wait for another hour for it to revert back the changes......sigh.... The service pack1 ( SP 1 ) is not installed till today on my laptop. I have contacted microsoft agents through a live chat, but they were not of much help either.... But the problem now is , although the SP 1 was not installed ( after 3 attempts ) I windows error noticed that about 12GB of hard disc space is used up presumably by the failed installation attempts. I am quite sure the 12GB was used up in the attempts as I was monitoring the hard disc during installation of the SP1. So I contacted microsoft chat again and the agent discovered that the System Queued Windows Error Reporting under disc cleanup was as large as 25.6 GB !! I asked him what is that?? But he seems like he doesn't know either!! But he suggested that I mark it for cleanup..... But windows error reporting I did not listen to him because he doesn't seem like he knows what he is doing. So my question now is, What is this ' system queued windows error reporting ( 25GB ) ' ??? Is it safe to clean it up ?? Will I loose any of my own files or affect my computer usage if i delete it ?? ( as I read some other post their pc crashed when they deleted these files ) I really need some reliable and useful advice here because I am a newbie when it comes to computer stuffs ....... Thanks Calvin Calvin, Jul 13, 2008 #1 Advertisements Guest Guest It is safe to delete. They are diagnostics only. You won't be able to debug all the crashes you've had (and how many times have you done that?).
