Dr Watson Errors

Dr. Watson is a application debugger included with Microsoft Windows that is used to help detect, decode and log errors that are encountered while windows or windows programs are running. The name itself comes from Doctor Watson, the confidante of the character Sherlock Holmes from the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle novels.

Whenever an error in your system occurs Dr Watson creates a text file and records the information needed by technical support personnel to diagnose the problem. The file recorded by Dr Watson is recorded as Drwtsn32.log or user.dmp.

A user can run Dr. Watson by clicking Start / Run and typing "drwatson" and clicking ok. The Windows NT and 2000 Version of Dr. Watson can be run by clicking Start / Run and typing "drwtsn32". From here you can select from the following;
