Make 2003 cool its jets after a crash
Is there any way to stop Word 2003 from making such a grand purple fuss after it
crashes? In prior versions I could delete the temp-file debris, relaunch, and be back to work in under 30 seconds. Now I must [1] listen to its plaintive whimper about sending an error report, AND [2] endure the pointless (for me) task pane that insists on me confirming that I want to reopen the recovered files. It's like an old lady smothering a kid who's scraped his knee, refusing to let him return to the playground right away. Both of these processes happen quite slowly on my (new and very fast) machine. I can't think of an instance when I *wouldn't* want to reopen what I was working on and get back to business, but I'd rather do it without grandma serving it to me on a doily. Is there a switch or registry hack somewhere that'll cut that stuff out, or at least speed it up? TIA ------------ Mark Tangard "Life is nothing if you're not obsessed." --John Waters |

From Windows Help -
To disable error reporting 1.. Open System in Control Panel. 2.. On the Advanced tab, click Error Reporting. 3.. Click Disable error reporting. The autorecovery task pane is something you will have to live with, but at least now autorecovery does at least work a tad more reliably. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Mark Tangard wrote: Is there any way to stop Word 2003 from making such a grand purple fuss after it crashes?

Thanks, Graham and Terry. Any time savings at all is a huge help for us.

It's like an old lady smothering a kid who's scraped his knee, refusing
to let him return to the playground right away. Must be a old lady living in the past. The legal savvy would contact an attorney and file a lawsuit before letting junior back on the playground :-) |
