Windows Error Reporting is all well and good, and I’m sure there are many problems that it’s solved. However it managed a classic fail tonight that made me chuckle. Take this error report here:

“Update Spyware Doctor”. Fine. Sounds like a good idea.

Such a good idea that…. it is in fact what I was trying to do when PC Tools “SmartUpdate” crashed, causing the error what I reported to Microsoft’s Error Reporting service, which recommended… can you spell “infinite loop”?
