How To Disable the Automatic Restart on System Failure in Windows XP

By default Windows XP restarts immediately after important error. This is not very useful, because you can't see error message for troubleshooting.

To disable this function follow these steps:

1. Right-click on My computer and then Properties

2. Now click Advanced tab

3. In the Startup and Recovery area click on the Settings button.

4. In the System Failure area uncheck Automatically restart

5. Click OK, then OK again and that's it
