After leaving my computer turned off for spring break, I returned to find a few things wrong with it. First, the little red alert from microsoft was in the corner saying that I had suspicious activity on my computer. Second, none of my folders will open. If I double-click a folder, the computer freezes for about 30 seconds, the desktop blinks, and I get the above error message, and I still can't open folders. I ran a virus scan and pulled up a good 7 infected files, but deleted them all and restarted...same problem. I also ran a spyware program and found the same spyware that I've had for a few months now, so I don't think that's the problem. I tried restarting in safe mode and folders open perfectly, with no problems.

I have been having problems with my screen freezing (first the screensaver froze - I turned it off, then the cursor froze - requires reset, every few hours). The last time this happened I also got a message saying "Dr Watson postmortem debugger has encountered an error and needs to close". Where do I start looking to solve this? Ive run Memtest - all clear (both channels, both modules). I did have an intermittent "Computer wont start" problem that I traced to an ill-fitting long plug on the motherboard - re-seated. A while back I installed Hijack This to problem solve something else but have since forgotten how to use it . I assume my system is producing logs of all this, but where do I look for them?

I had the following problem while logging on to my computer (Windows XP) this morning: While starting up I get an error message saying Windows Explorer must shut down (with the option of sending an error message to MS) even though WE was never open to begin with. When I try to open anything up, like IE or Word I get an error message from Dr Watson Postmortem Debugger saying something about it needing to close (can't remember exactly since I'm at work now). The computer then freezes up and I have to Ctrl-Alt-Delete out. I ran McAfee Virus Scan and it discovered I had a trojan (netpals). It was apparently cleaned but when I tried opening something up I got the same error messages.I cannot open any programs using my Start menu or clicking on the desktop icon.

running Windows XP home edition and every time she goes to press the internet explorer icon on her desktop it will load the home page ok then when you try to surk the net she gets the message that microsoft has encounted aan error and then it asks if you want to send the report or not. If you click either send or dot not send report it boots you off the net and goes back to the desktop. Also she cannot even do internet banking, because every time you try to you get the same message. We think she may have gotten a virus, but we don't know because norton doesn't find anything wrong.

Windows Explorer keeps crashing on me, so when I click on 'send error report' DR Watson Postmortem debugger comes on, but that locks up too. So, I end up having to end Dr Watson's task to unlock the programs and get everything done. Some days I never need to do it, but some days (like today), I've had to do this repeatedly, like, seven times within an eight hour period.

My problem is every time I click My Documents, My Pictures, or just about anything on the right side in the start nenu the message, "Dr. Watson Postmortem Debugger has a problem and needs to close." Send report, don't send. No matter what I hit the arrow&hour glass appears and the computer freezes up, and I have to use Task Manager to restart. I've tried System Restore, but it says It has no resore point, but the programs in start menu work in safe mode. Can anyone help me with Dr. Watson please?

I cant open some of my desktop icons and I cant get into my computer and control panel by icon or start up button. Every time I try a message pops up that reads Data Execution Prevention. When I close the window it asks me either to send message or it reads Dr Watson Postmortern Debugger. Then it will either completly seize up or do a quick explorer reboot where all the icons and task bar will disapear and then reapear. I have searched for all pests, viruses, trojans, malware, viruses etc with, spybot, trend micro house call, ca e-trust antivirus, ad aware and it comes up clean.

I randomly receive the "DR Waston postmortem debugger has encountered an error and must close" error when browsing with explorer.exe. This freezes up whatever folder I was looking through and forces me to eliminate it using task manager.

Recently I have received a problem where I can't open a folder that has a gigabyte or more space used. I have several folders that contain a little less than a gb and they open and let me do what I want without any problems. When I open a folder with a gb or more it opens and lets me see the files and then I get a Windows Explorer popup saying that Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to shut down, I clicked the error report and this is what it says: AppName: explorer.exe AppVer: 6.0.2900.2180 ModName: filesystemflags.dll
ModVer: 1.0.0.1 Offset: 00002ddd
And when I close the Windows popup I get a Dr. Watson Postmortem Debugger popup and I clicked the error report but it won't let me read the details, so I have to Ctl, Alt, Del to close the non-responsive program.I have scanned the computer for virses and spyware and came up negative on both of those, so I don't know what is wrong or what to do to fix this. I have previously had folders with several gb's used when I was storing video to transfer to dvd and I never had this problem.

After ending a non-responsive program, I often get an error message that Dr. Watson Post Mortem Debugger has encountered an error and needs to quit. I know that Dr. Watson is a software utility that helps log errors after a windows program encounters an error, how can I fix this so that I dont get an error message?

I keep getting this error message when I boot. The entire message says, "windows explorer has encountered an error and needs to close." When I close the box, i lose my desktop, and can't run a bunch of programs, including the "run" option. I am able to run my browsers and get on the web. I did do a system restore, and it worked at first, but then on the next reboot, i got the error message again. Did another system restore, same thing.

My son's computer is saying Dr Watson Postmorten Debugger encountered a problem and needs to close down. I press don't send and then nothing happens, I even switch it with my computer hook ups because I have internet and he does not and pressed send and nothing happens. I asked dell and they had me run a test and said it is not a hardware problem. Is there a way I can restart his computer and get it back to the way it was like when I bought it last Nov.

I try to open an email with my Earthlink Total Access and it won't open but just gives me the "Encountered a problem" message in regards to the Dr. Watson Debugger. It seems to only happen on forwarded messages, mostly from our church. This has just started happening in the last 2 weeks.I am running XP on an ACER laptop.

When I turn my pc and windows loads up an error message appears saying that windows service pack 2 setup has encountered an error and has to close. However when I close the error message it keeps popping up every 20 seconds or so. When I went to microsofts website that told me that service pack 2 was installed on my pc. I have ran a full viral scan using the latest version of Panda and have also ran Reg-cure to see if the problem was in the registry but the error message still keeps popping up.

downloading and installing update to my computer from windows update. Every time I try to enter the pages, the screen freezes on me. I even restored my computer and still it happens, only with microsoft - windows sites. Now Once I did get to the point to check for updates, but after doing the express check, all downloaded but could not install. Was getting this message: Files that are required for Windows to run properly must be copied to the DLL Cache.

I started receiving at startup the following error: "Data Execution Prevention - To help protect your computer windows as closed this program Name: Windows Explorer
Publisher: Microsoft Corp" I had gone to MyComputer, properties and put windows explorer in the exception list. And it loaded up ok after that. This morning it started giving the same error plus another one: "DrWatson Postmortem Debugger has encountered a poblem" and has closed. In addition to the above, I can't click or start anything. The screen looks like it's loaded up correctly but then I am not able to start or use any program.only option I can choose is to see the task manager. Now the screensaver has come on and moving the mouse doesn't take it back to the normal screen. I really am not sure what the problem is I am writing this post from another PC.

The above is what I receive upon SHUTDOWN every time! It says it needs to close and is sorry (I have closed it already).
Then of course I can read the Exception info and other items which make no sense. I have looked everywhere for an answer.
I use Windows XP and Office 2003.

Windows XP would not boot in my wife's old computer off of her hard drive so I booted it off of my installation disk. I then instructed it to repair the windows already installed. When prompted I entered her key and it appeared to be completing the installation. I am presently trying to activate windows XP on my wife's computer by clicking Start > All Programs > Activate Windows but the activation window does not open and shortly there after I get the error message:"Microsoft Feeds Synchronization has encountered a problem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inconvenience" presumably preventing Windows XP activation. Even entering "oobe/msoobe /a" in the Run window does not launch the activation window which I once again presume is blocked by the error message.

The Internet Explorer pop ups a message " Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience". The web page is OK, if ignore, if Don't send or Send Error Report is clicked the whole web page dissappears.
