Dr Watson Reports

Jeff,

The reason I used the data from Drwatson, was because Microsoft stated in
the early days that the lengthy 'data' that is recorded - and there's much
more than the brief summary I put, PLUS, the fact that I got, and get, along
with the DrW report, a 'Fatal Exception' (or other) message; these tend to
differ and depend on program I'm working with at the time - that the
'snapshop' would show up the problem!?!

Although I do get problems sometimes right after rebooting, usually, Windows
works well for up to 2 hours and then suddenly slows and shows reluctance to
act on a 'click', when I know that it's just about to freeze. Sometimes I
can save it doing so by Ctrl-Alt-Dlt and removing the working program (or
'not responding') - other times not!

It's not a heat problem, the fans are working AND after a 'reboot' the
system will work again for up to 2 hours.
It has been exacerbated by putting in Norton 2005, because I suspect, the
greedy RAM taker, and I believe IE and Norton do clash, but is not the
primary reason as it was suddenly rebooting before Norton.

It is possible that the sudden reboot is causing damage and loss to files,
but when all systems are working, it goes on for some time working well,
which, if there was damaged or missing NECCESSARY files, would be unlikely.

I am no expert, but am having to learn fast, and I DO use the Knowledge
Base, which is excellent, and the Internet to find out what ALL the messages
mean. There however must be a common cause at the centre of most of the
spread of 'problem messages'. We'll get there, and thanks for your help,
but apart from reinstalling Windows - which until I can save much info. I
have no intention of doing, any thoughts are appreciated.
I have a lot of time for Microsoft design - and the ability of the system to
overcome!

Thanks,

The Dr. Watson dump file and log are for software developers to troubleshoot
a problem with a program or a driver. For human beings they are completely
useless and they obscure the error message that might allow humans to figure
out the problem.

Turn off Dr. Watson, then post the actual error message excluding the
register data.

Even though there might be a common cause, you can only track it down using
a specific error, and for that you need the message without the Dr Watson
embellishments.
