Windows XP error reporting still working.. - king1 - 26-09-2025

you can't activate XP officially any more but apparently the error reporting line is still working...

I was asked to recover the data from this old HP beast.  Found out why they stopped using it back in the day; slow as fuck thanks to Nortons and AVG...

Fascinating!

Norton and AVG? That's a bad combination!
Probably has little RAM to top it off.
I recently saw someone still using a machine running XP and it was still doing error reports, only reason they wanted an upgrade was because chrome no longer worked for their banking being so out of date!
I question whether Microsoft actually did anything beneficial with it in the day, we were always seeing common errors pop up and nothing ever seemed to get fixed despite countless submissions.

Your error reports have been taken on board, and will be thrown over the side as soon as we leave harbour...
