doesnt sound like a windows xp file......stop it from loading in the msconfig and see if any applications stop working.....my guess is not since it doesnt seem to be working now anyways.

If you dont know how to use msconfig....get back to me and I'll elaborate.

The program dwwin.exe is Dr Watson - a Windows debugging tool. You can get more info by typing drwtsn32.exe in Start - Run. Click on the Help tab. To turn off the Dr Watson debugger, apply the following Windows NT / Windows 2000 / Windows XP registry hack:

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug
Name: Auto
Value: 0 disable
Value: 1 enable


To re-enable Dr Watson, you can change Auto back to 1 or from the command line type drwtsn -i.

It is likely though that your system is trying to throw a stop error. Look in Control Panel, Event Viewer, in the System log entries to see if a critical stop error has been generated.


For it is not what is seen, but what is not seen.
