Download updates for Dr Watson (drwtsn32.exe)

Hello, you have likely just arrived from the Windows Error Reporting site because you received the response that Dr. Watson (Drwtsn32.exe.) caused a problem with Windows XP.

To disable Dr. Watson so you don't get this error any more click here and follow these instructions.

When prompted, answer the following to questions like this.

Do you want to run or save the file?  Click Run
Are you sure you want to add .... to the registry?  Click Yes.

Is it safe?  Yes, the registry file is simply changing the configuration of your system so it doesn't run Dr. Watson anymore when a program crashes.

Do you need Dr. Watson?  No, the system already has Windows Error Reporting and the Dr. Watson debugger would be used by advanced users to collect more information that could be later be used by someone who knows how to use the Windows Debugger.

Why didn't this fix my problem Internet Explorer, Outlook, etc?  Unfortunately, another application crashed and then Dr. Watson crashes.  I'm sorry, but this only fixes the Dr. Watson crash.

Why can't I open the file?  The file is a registry file (.reg) and some anti-malware program may block access to it.  In which case you will need to manually change the registry using the original article.  Click here to read the original article. 

Why does this problem occur? This problem occurs because Dr. Watson is processing the name of a file incorrectly and it causes the crashes.  The current lifecycle of Microsoft Window XP fixes only security problems and the workaround is safe and easy.  Click here to read the original article.

I hope that this helps you get rid of Dr Watson crashing after you already had another application crash.
