Dr. Wtaon Repeated Errors

Guest

All of the sudden today I have been getting numerous dwwin32.exe errors. This
sucks because I have had this happen before and the only way I solved it was
by reformatting. I DO NOT WANT TO REFORMAT AND LOSE EVERYTHING! Here's more
detail on when this happens:

1. It is totally random.
2. It only happens after I open anything. Even "My Computer". It tells me
whatever I opened has encountered a problem and needs to close then dr.
watson says it needs to close. The funny thing is whatever I open is still
fine. It doesnt lock up or anything, I just move the error window out the way
and I can continue on with my work. It even did this with command prompt!
3. Rebooting my PC did not help.
4. Removing Dr. Watson vis regedit failed as well. it got even worse when I
did this. I put AeDebug back in the registry and reinstalled Dr. Watson with
command prompt and the problem still persists.


Help please! I cannot reformat because I have lots of stuff I do not want to
lose and no secondary hard drive to save it to!

Thanks!

Try this:
Before beginning, I strongly recommend backing up your system state and data
before making any changes to your computer

<>Disable Dr. Watson dump file creation
A memory dump file is created by Dr Watson. This is a program error debugger
that gathers all kinds of information about your computer when a user error
or user-mode fault occurs within a program. I have never found these files
to be useful either. To stop creation of these files, follow this procedure:

Go to start, then run, then type in ‘regedit.exe’ and hit ‘Enter’
Browse to the following location in the left pane:
HKEY_LOCAL-MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug
Left click on the value ‘Auto’ on the right pane, and change the value from
‘1’ to ‘0’ Close the registry editor.
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.

If okay, start implement Backing-Up your important files!

Good luck :)

that It stuck!
