Why does vista check for a solution to a crash and then do absolutley nothing?

Can someone please tell me why when a program crashes vista spends 5mins raping the hard drive and then does nothing afterwards when it is supposed to be looking for a solution? How can such bad programming be allowed in vista? I would be thrown out of university for making such poor software so god knows how they got a job at microsoft.

first off, what program?

quite often your av is scanning something that a program is doing, and if you try to close it before it finishes, it'll crash -internet browsers get this a lot with certain scripts on ALL operating systems

as pharcyde says, some problems are acknowledged and windows will tell you 'you need patch xx for program yy'

^i've seen this with winamp and a few others

It's company of heroes. Real time scanning is disabled, uses too many rescources and can cause conflicts.

I've already posted on relic, doesn't do it on startup.

I'm not really sure what you're expecting it to do.

Perhaps alert the user? So you know that it hasn't failed and has completed instead of leaving the user waiting forever wondering what is going on. I'm left thinking, "has it completed, has it crashed, why isn't it alerting me?", amateur design!

Yes, the QUIT button . . . .

God that is annoying, you close a program and windows thinks it has crashed, even xp didn't do that. :rolleyes:
