windows error reprting manager. nothing harmful
   
When Microsoft really asses up its OSes, they have to write Error Managers to handle the multitude of constant errors produced by their OS. This is that process. Fortunately, like most of Microsofts applications, this one is totally unnecssary. Feel free to turn it off, it will stop trying to find out why your programs have crashed and will stop sending Microsoft bug reports.

I stopped the service and changed it to manual, then removed the error reporting task, but the Wermgr.exe kept running in Vista and using up to 50% of my CPU. I couldn't dlete it from the System32 folder. I rebooted to the Windows repair module and deleted the file. That solved the issue.
   
It is common system file in Windows 7 but I cannot find if in my Windows XP computer.
