Not paper. The reports are provided via a secure web connection. But yes, 
it's a free crash analysis service provided by Microsoft for Windows XP and

apparently does not participate in it. Earlier in the thread I gave a 
complete description of what Windows Error Reporting (WER) is and links to 
get more information about it.
