Have you ever had a program in Windows Vista crash and all of a sudden your system is dog slow. When a program crashes, Microsoft launches DW20.exe in the background to capture the error as part of the windows error reporting setup. This is a great idea in concept but for some reason DW20.exe always seems to take > 50% of the available CPU and drags the whole system to a crawl. I just found that you can adjust the settings for windows error reporting. There is a good explanation of the different settings at http://www.realtime-vista.com/administration/2007/03/windows_error_reporting_option.htm.
