Problem connecting to the Windows Error Reporting service

Whenever I try to check for solutions in the action center of Windows 7, I get the following error message: Problem connecting to the Windows Error Reporting service. Some of the reports could not be uploaded to the Windows Error Reporting service. Please try again later.

This issue started appearing a few days ago, even though I didn't make any changes in my computer. I don't have any firewall (except for the default Windows firewall) and all my other programs work just fine on the Internet.

Any ideas what might cause the issue?

Problem solved.

I actually had to purge all the existing reports using the Disk Cleanup utility.

    I gave up and sent my laptop to repair shop.  Too many issues like this with complicated solutions that don't work.

    Hello Amrita M, it has been six years and people still have the same issue.. where have you been?

    Right now I have 36 occurrences of a video card issue crashing to a black screen and recovering a few seconds later. Toshiba could not care less, NIVIDIA has new drivers but not for my equipment.

    Microsoft wants me to report the issues and is asking for more information, which I am totally willing to send. BUT it does not get through, ever, ever, ever.

    Help!!!!!!!!!!  pretty please...

    Thanks for this. Never been into that part of the system before. I've made the suggested changes, and will wait to see it does the trick next time the system tries to forward an error report.
