How do I get a more detailed error message whan a program stops working in vista?

Factual Questions
1

In older versions of Windows I could at least get some clue why a program stops working, but in Vista I just get the ‘[program] has stopped working’ dialog.

Is there any way to get some information about why something stops working?

Have you tried looking in the Event Viewer? Look in the Application Log and the System Log.
