Some programs that run on Windows Vista use Microsoft Application Error Reporting (DW 2.0) to report certain problems to Microsoft. In some instances, these programs may unintentionally send problem reports to Microsoft without first verifying that you have granted permission for this reporting operation.
Only a handful of cases that exhibit this behavior have been identified. Additionally, the problem reports that may be sent do not contain personal information. Examples of programs that may be affected include 2007 Microsoft Office programs, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, and Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003.
The update that is described in the “Resolution” section makes a change to Windows Error Reporting. (Windows Error Reporting is used by DW 2.0 to send problem reports.) This change helps make sure that DW 2.0 problem reports are sent only after you have granted permission.
