Do we really need Dr. Watson?

kevs · 05-12-2006, 06:44 AM

Everytime I try playing a video file, Dr. Watson 99% of the time crashes my directory. The only way I can play videos successfully is through the wmplayer2 through the run function.

Anyway, do we really need this? If not, how do I get rid of it?

Thanks.

Dr. Watson pops up AFTER a crash, so it's only reporting on what's happening on your machine. If you're crashing somewhere, it'll happen whether Dr. W is running or not. All it does is give you some diag info in the event you're trying to troubleshoot the crash.
