Hi, first thanks for taking the time to read this. Well every now and then i get the box that says "Dr watsons Debugging program has encountered a problem and needs to be SHUT down. Sorry for any inconvineince" Should i be worried about this or is it normal. Im using windows xp and a nVidia Geoforce 2. If you NEED anymore deatild i will be happy to say! ThnksThis can be normal, but it is actually never good when a program closes becuase of an error.... What is this debugging for? (Registy cleaner, windows debugger, etc.)

[glb]Flame[/glb]Sorry mate i have no idea. Thats why i asked if it was crucial. Usually after it the same hapens but with windows EXPLORER. Although i notice no change in the computer i'm just curious. Also thanks for replying very much appreciated!!!This SOUNDS liek you DID NOT download this software yourself right? This sounds like the work of Spyware... Do you have protection?

[glb]Flame[/glb]Yea. I have Microsoft Antisapyware Beta1m, Aol spyware protection and Lavasoft Ad-Aware se. I check for spyware at least 3 times a week. They are normally only traking cookies. I have Ad-watch monitering everything and Microsft real time protection going too.Lets see if we can uninsatll it... Go to your control panel... Click on Add or remove Programs... NExt, find Dr. Watson's Debugging Program , and try uninstalling it... Keep in touch...

[glb]Flame[/glb]It's not even on the list. Maybe it's a backgroung probram used by Microsoft to help every thing go along. I found this webiste while on google. http://techrepublic.com.com/5102-6329-5151128.html
I think it KIND of sugests that it keeps everything working in order as it compares it to Sherlock Holmes. I don't think it is anyting to worry about. Anyway thanks SO much for replying. VERY much appreciated. Cheersribena_shot_glass.....Dr Watson is part of the Win XP system..... read this ......
