Vista and many applications, including IE7, exist in a fragile relationship wherein the applications crash for many reasons.

Vista has the truly annoying response "Windows is checking for a solution...".

Is there any way to disable this functionality so that the program just crashes?

Given the instability I experience in Vista I am always running task manager so I can kill these processes myself much faster and I find this built-in functionality to be unfunctional.

Your assitance will be much appreciated.
