Every time I boot up my computer it says there has been a previous error and asks should it send a message to microsof.
It must be doing this several times for each error or each error log must have a notification time limit, but it's really annoying anyway ( I always click don't send, it's not like mcirosoft are going to come around and fix my computer)
So is there a way to adjust the settings for these messages,
Kev

Found it! the answer was on annoyances.org,
good place to look BEFORE you ask

Stop Windows XP from asking if you want to send a report to Microsoft whenever a program crashes

Intended For
Windows XP only

Whenever a program crashes, whether it’s a Microsoft application, a component of Windows, or a third-party application, a window appears, prompting you to send a "report" to Microsoft. If you actually believe that Microsoft will use the data you send them to fix bugs in Windows, I have some beach-front property in Nevada to sell you...
Here's how to disable this feature, either completely or selectively:


Open System in the Control Panel (or right-click on the My Computer icon and select Properties.
Choose the Advanced tab, and click Error Reporting.
You can disable error reporting entirely here, or enable it selectively for certain programs. Click Ok when you're done.
