Hi fellow forum-ers, after I reformatted my laptop, drWatson debugger always will not working properly and make my laptop crash and have to relogin into Windows. It will suddenly pop up. Do you guys know how to fix it?

the same problem goes to my laptop.
everytime i switch on my laptop, dialog box pop up telling windows explorer has encoutered a problem. then after i click on close button, drWatson pop up and my laptop hang..
please help me..

I believe some Windows system DLLs have corrupted. Try to re-update all Windows critical files, security packages, service packages and updates by typing:



You can view the Event Viewer under Administrative Tools in Control Panel to see system error logs.

Oh! ok thx. but mine is home edition

Two ways:
1) type in the command prompt if you run Command Prompt (cmd.exe)
2) Start -> Run -> sfc /scannow

Launch the Run dialog box by pressing Windows Key + R.

Type that command into the popped dialog box.

hehe thx a lot ^^

oh~ thx again. Just wondering, is installing the service pack 3 help?

Yes, it is possible. Every major Service Pack update will check for any missing updates and components.

It solve the drWatson problem, but the window explorer not responding isn't. Any idea? Btw, I tried downloading service pack 3 and other updates, but it failed at initialing installation... process... Should I reformat again? Btw, I am using ori windows XP home
