OMFG! I just realised something on inspecting my add/remove programs I found an update for: [B]Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1[/B] then underneath in a sub column is something called [B]Dr. Watson.[/B]. Which I installed from windows update on 9/12/07. two days later my problem arises. Coincidence? I think not. Should I uninstall, contact microsoft, is this my fault then guys? All I have done is downloaded an update from the Microsoft Update. Please guys ke
After looking at this: [link="http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/drwatson_overview.mspx?mfr=true"]WWW Link[/link] - I wondered - could I not just re-install another similar de-bugging program, that does the job - but better? What is your opinion?
Well, I'm no way ganna re-install windows... my dad would have a fit. I will try the TuneUp 2007. And I didn't mean 80 popups - I meant 80 Processes - sorry. I just did end process to all of them. Sometimes there aren't any popups, just the "loading" Cursor pops up, when I'm not doing anything and then I ctrl+alt+del and its got them going...
Yeah - 2004 had a trial too... I will see what I can do. It happened once last night - I tried just clicking "End Process" when about 80 popped up - it did the trick, at least I could then restart my computer properly without having to do it incorrectly. I uninstalled TuneUp now, I may give 2007 a go to see what it can do... what do you think?
Actaully I think tune-up utilities did this! It was 2004 version though I think... I did a registry cleanup and then the next day this started to happen - I did a system restore but :NOTSURE: ....

[quote]WF07, I'm not sure that disabling 'Error Reporting' will help you. I am no expert but all that will do will - to my simple mind - is stop the errors from coming up on your screen and not solve the actual problem on your system. If Yrag is around later he might have some ideas. I would certainly run both your anti-virus and anti-spyware programs too, to see if this picks something up. Sometimes it pays to run a couple of anti-spyware progs over your computer like Adaware and Spybo
HEY!!! OMFG - Was just doing a google search -found this guy with the same prob and this guy told him to do the exact thing you just told me! Cool. I just did it - put a restore point behind it though... of course. I just restarted and all seems well, although it can take a couple of minutes, hours or even days to start up. Thankyou for your help so far guys - much appreciated. [quote] So am i going to have to remove Dr Watson? no - Dr Wat
Ok - So am i going to have to remove Dr Watson? I edited the registry once to turn it off, but then I couldnt open the registry because dr watson said no... so I had to do a system restore. Sometimes this event will not happen for a couple of days, then three or four times a day sometimes.. it seems to have no link whatsoever to what I am doing!
[quote]Could well be rogue files. Have a look at this WWW Link [/quote] Thanks for the fast reply. I am no computer whizz, so I don't understand much of what they were discussing, but It sounded as if the chap in question had a program called "the fall guy"??? I didn't quite get that... can someone maybe explain it to me slowly... as If I am a n00b (which I obviously am)... do I need a program called
Hi guys... I have a problem. Two or three times a day I get a message come up saying "Dr Watson post moretom debugger has encountered a problem and needs to close." and then It says "Ending Program - Click here to end now" , so I do, and then another one pops up. I ctrl alt del and theres 110 processes running saying dwwin.exe and drwts32.exe - all dr watson. Then I cant restart without pressing end now to 110 process (sometimes more). This happened a week and a half ago (start
