Change the Amount of Time Before Programs Time Out

When an application hangs and no longer responds, 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. If you've built some of your own applications, this might be too short a time – and it can be extremely annoying.

You can increase or decrease the amount of time it takes before XP reports that the program has hung:

  1. From a command line or from the Run line, run regedit. This opens the Registry Editor.
  2. Select the folder HKEY_CURRENT_USER and follow the folder path \Control Panel\Desktop.
  3. Select the HungAppTimeout entry.
  4. Edit it to input a new value, in milliseconds. The default is 5000.
Exit the Registry. You may need to reboot for the new setting to take effect.
