hi,

i have installed a lot of updates for w7 , a few files couldnt be installed.

i used the diskcleaning tool and it shows me besides a few smaller usual error report files one big 1,59 GB windows error reporting file...

has somebody an idea how such a large error file can arise?

i used defraggler before this thing... i think there was a little bug with file-list defragmentation (after a while the entire disk appears completely filled with whatever --> but 60 % free space --> after cancelling and restart defraggler 2.19 its all fine again...)

ps: i will delete this large error report file...

If they are listed as 'queued' error reports, they haven't been sent to Microsoft yet and so are stored on your drive.

.wer files (app crashes) are usually stored in C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WER
