Automatically Close Not responding popup windows 7

Question

I'm running a python script that takes a data measurement once every 10 minutes forever. The problem is that it requires I run a httpget.exe that crashes constantly. When it crashes, a popup window appears and tells me that it's "Not Responding" and puts my python script on hold until I press "enter" in the popup or click "ok", then the script continues normally.

Is there a way to make certain programs in windows 7 not have those popup menus appear? So my script would just run over any "Not Responding" errors?

I've tried running a "kill()" in python, but as soon as the httpget.exe stops responding, the python script stops too. I just cant be around my computer all the time pressing "enter" when the window pops up.

What's the best way to go about this?

Thank you!

run separate script that will send "enter pressed" command to OS all the time? look here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15100977/press-enter-via-python-script — aaaaa says reinstate Monica, Apr 06 '15 at 21:22

Perhaps you should not use an external program and use something on the standard library, as in get the content of the page and strip it using string functions:

import urllib2
url = "http://httpbin.org/get"
response = urllib2.urlopen(url)
print response.read()

Or the file:

import urllib
urllib.urlretrieve ("http://www.example.com/songs/mp3.mp3", "mp3.mp3")
