Guest LuDean Marvin Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 For trouble shooting purposes, I would like to disable DrWatson. Each time Windows Explorer crashes, it runs and it too crashes. I am then forced to Alt-Ctrl-Del, and close down the crashed programs before I can resume work. Is there anyway I can do this? If I should choose to keep it disabled, what would the consequences be?

Additionaly to advice received already... ....to delete the dump files created by Dr Watson on earlier occasions, you will have to delete them manually with this procedure: Open Windows explorer, Browse to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson and delete files named User.dmp and Drwtsn32log.

Guest LuDean Marvin Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Re: How to disable drwatson? Thanks. Just what I needed... I hope. It's now disabled and am waiting for the next Windows Explorer crash to see what happens.
