I've noticed a problem on my Windows Vista box recently. When minirosetta crashes on a workunit (happens about once every other day), a popup window arrives that says: minirosetta has encountered a problem and must close.

Fair enough, the problem is that until I click the "Close this application" button, the core that was crunching that workunit sits idle. If it fails at 8:30am, I might not notice until much later that evening when I get home from work. Some days I don't even check my crunchers, just assuming they are ok.

Does anyone know of a way to automatically close stuff like this?

I'll take a screenshot next time it happens to help illustrate.

Edit for clarification: It is not the Send/Don't Send window that reports the failure to MS.
