Comment:

When an application crash, I recive a system message like "Creating error register"...

The only option is "cancel", but if I press it, the situation doesn't change:

The system uses HD very intensely, and I can't do anything for 3-4 minutes...

What about this??? Can I disactivate it?

I find a directory called "drwtsn" with a txt file reporting error occurred, and a file "user.dmp" of about 1 GB!!!

What's "Dr Watson??

Look at whats below, you'll have to edit the path to represent your system, leave the double \\ this is the way it has to be between directories, after that make something crash, and the OK will appear in under 1 second, and thats all, no more dumping hundreds of MB's on your HD for nothing

Copy the folowing as DRWATSON.REG , then double click it, yes to enter in the registry and there you go!
