Dr Watson Errors
August 7th, 2008 . by Markus - Add a Comment
Dr. Watson is an application debugger included with Microsoft Windows that is used to help detect, decode and log errors that are encountered while windows or windows programs are running.
Whenever an error in your system occurs Dr Watson creates a text file and records the information needed by technical support personnel to diagnose the problem. The file recorded by Dr Watson is recorded as Drwtsn32.log or user.dmp.
Dr. Watson will shut down the offending program but the other programs and their data are untouched.
The Dr Watson errors generated fall in to three main categories :
1) Your processor has attempted to access an illegal instruction
2) Your processor has attempted to access invalid data or instructions.
3) Your processor has attempted to access data or code that the program is not privileged to access.
