<p>On Vista, I got a problem with the application crash handler. Basically, if something unexpected occurs which cannot be captured by SEH, I get this pop-up window with "The application stopped working", blablabla, "Close program/Debug program" -- that is, after I disable the error reporting using the system control panel. With error reporting enabled, you would get a task dialog with search for solution online, close, debug.</p>

<p>This is not so funny if it happens in automated tools, and I wonder whether there is a way to get rid of it <em>totally</em>, read, if my app crashes, it just crashes to the command line or disappears but does not bring up a dialog.</p>

Use
```
```
SetErrorMode(SetErrorMode(0)|SEM_NOGPFAULTERRORBOX);
```
```
But I would suggest to install an exceptions handler which creates a dump so you can verify what happened. For example
crashrpt
(or
here
).
