How to disable ".exe has stopped working" dialog.

I am running a long set of unattended software tests (native code) on
Window Vista. Because I am testing software has frequent changes,
several of the tests may contain error and may crash. On my Vista
machine, then a test crashes I get the following dialog from Vista:

<program-name>.exe has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Please close the program.

with a single button to "Close the program".

I need a way to disable that dialog. So far I have done the
following:

1) Start->Programs->Maintanance->Porblem Reports & Solutions->Change
Settings->Advanced Settings, shutoff ALL Windows Error Reporting.

2) Disabled all JIT debugging in Visual Studio 2005.

3) Removed registry key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current
Version\AeDebug

4) Set registry key HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows
\ErrorMode = 2.

Does anyone know how to disable the dialog.

Hi, i dont know how to disable that message, but finally i found the
source of the problem.
In my case it was the acer gridvista app, wich caused that message to
appear each time i close adobe flash cs3. Now i don't use acer gridvista
anymore, and my adobe flash works smooth again.

I do automated testing, and ran into exactly the same problem. I believ
I have just solved it by setting the following registry key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ Microsoft\Windows
\Windows Error Reporting\Dont Show UI =

I don't know why this would be required, given that I had already se
WER's "Disabled" reg key to "1", but it did the trick
