FACT(s) (Environment):
What is Dr. Watson (DRWATSON.EXE) and how do I use it?
FIX:
DrWatson is supplied with MS-Windows but an icon may not exist for it.
In your Windows directory, you should find drwatson.exe. This can be
run from the MS-Windows file manager. Dr. Watson runs in the back-
ground and when your application encounters a gpf, Dr. Watson
will step in and create a 'drwatson.log' that can be faxed to Tech
Support. The file 'drwatson.log' is also in the Windows directory
and should be saved under a different file name or it will be over-
written the next time you encounter a GPF.
For NT box you can find drwatson.exe into %windir%\SYSTEM32 directory. But there is also a new executable for Dr.Watson named Drwtsn32.exe that you will find in the same %windir%\SYSTEM32 directory. The log file used to be named as DRWTSN32.LOG and used to be at %windir%.
