How can I
change the timeout for hanged
applications in Windows XP?
When an
application hangs and no longer
responds, Windows XP displays a dialog
box that prompts you to kill the
application or wait a while longer.
By
default, the dialog box appears after
the application hasn't responded for a
half of a second. You can tweak XP to
increase or decrease the amount of time
it takes before XP reports that the
program has hung.
To do so
do the following:
-
Start
Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
-
Locate
the following key in the registry:
-
Make
sure you backup the keys by
exporting them to a .reg file.
-
On the
HungAppTimeout
value, change the setting from 5000
(the default) to any time you want
(in milliseconds - decimal).
-
Close
the registry editor.
-
Restart your computer.
