Remove Something From System - Dr Watson Postmortem Debugger?
Nov 13, 2006As I was trying to remove something from my system, I got an error message referencing "Dr. Watson Postmortem debugger."

Feb 22, 2005I 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.

Oct 6, 2006Windows 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.

Mar 19, 2005After 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.

Dec 24, 2005Recently 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.

Aug 24, 2005I have recently updated XP pro to SP2. I am having a problem now right-clicking files anywhere on my system. Windows will hang and give me an error about "Dr. Watson postmortem has caused an error and needs to close". After waiting a minute or two explorer.exe will close and open again and I receive an event id 1002 saying "The shell stopped unexpectedly and Explorer.exe was restarted."
What makes this even weirder is that I can right click on shortcuts and other desktop icons with no problem, its just when I right click files no matter where they are either on the desktop or somewhere on the harddrive. I have uninstalled SP2 and tried to see if the problem went away and yes it did. I then reinstalled SP2 again and the problem is back!

Aug 16, 2008I 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?

Sep 6, 2005Dr Watson postmortem debugger error in SP2 when trying to access external usb2 drives? Specifically large video files. The drive freezes completely.I have two external drives on a hub, and have one on an alternate port. I've split them and tested separately, to no avail. Also tried uninstalling usb drivers, running norton/adaware/spybot because I read something about a virus. Never had a speed or freeze issue in SP1 running HUGE videos, or editing software from multiple disks.I only see a few suspects on hijackthis log (a second dr watson?), but don't know enough - and I'm curious whether SP2 might be the culprit.

Oct 28, 2007I browsed through the posts of this forum and I hope you can help me to sort this issue out. I often experience dr Watson postmortem to cause my Windows Explorer to freeze. This is particularly true when I display a number of pictures in a folder directory as icons or when I open a divX file with Windows Media Player. Sometimes, even when I drag and drop a media file (the longer the file the higher the risk), I experience system freezes. The only way to recover that is by stopping the operation through the task manager.I understand that the problem is not with dr Watson per se: this is just the debugger, but I cannot sort the cause of the problem out.

Every 20-30 minutes, I will get the messages (2 of them) for, "Windows Explorer has encountered an error and must close", and, "Dr Watson PostMortem Debugger has encountered an error and must close".Again, this is the reason I reformatted in the first place. I know it's not a virus doing this (At least, I hope it's not, as I just reformatted).
