Multiple instances of drwtsn32.exe and drwin.exe

[GH79]

My laptop has suddenly started working really slowly for no apparent
reason. The laptop is under a year old with very little software on
it. It is a Media Center edition laptop and when I look in task
manager I see 5-10 instances of the following processes:

drwtsn32.exe
drwin.exe


Can anyone advise me what could be wrong here ?


Many thanks in advance

You can disable Dr. Watson here. (drwtsn32.exe)

Dr. Watson is so old, he should be retired by now.
Not necessary on you computer.

Are you sure the other file is "drwin.exe" and not "dwwin.exe" ?

dwwin.exe is part of Dr. Watson

Hi Wally and thanks for the response. You are correct and the other
file is dwwin.exe. Should I just disable and can you recommend
anything else ?
