About a week ago I ran windows update and did all of the updates avalible to me. Since then i've found that whenever i'm surfing the net, windows often loads up an error dialog which says that Code: 'A runtime error has occured. Do you wish to debug? line 120 Error 'null' is null or not an object.[yes] [No]I know this is prob due to a script error on the site, but the dubugger is rather annoying, and i'd like to get rid of it as it pops up far too often.
After setting up a system running Windows XP Pro with the user set to be a member of the Administrators group, that spontaneously changes so the user is a member of the "Debugger Users" group. I wonder if anyone else has come across this, and if he knows why it occurs. It isn't generally a problem, but it does cause some problems at times with some of the software we use which requires the user be an Administrator. I think it gets changed when running windows updates, but I'm not sure.
Running MS XP/AOL/Norton System Works/Firewall. Past few weeks have been plagued by a window that opens, intermittantly, when reading email. Can't determine if it is a windows, Norton or virus/adware item, altho Norton, spybot, etc don't show any problems in that respect. The only thing I can't get rid of is a "first ave" request to download. Had that forever but seems to be a dormant item. Anyway. the window opens and reads : Just in time debugger.Please select a debugger. Possible debuggers... New instance of MS script editor. Then there is a checkbox to set current debugger as default. Below are two buttons asking if want to debug using selected debugger. Clicking "X" or no eight (8) times exits the window, usually not to return on that email but sometimes it does. Clicking yes shows some text (HTML?) or code or something with a few words "break" visable.
how I can turn the debugger off or disable it. I am wanting to convert a video from one format to another and keep getting a message to turn debugger off. But can't find how to do it.
We have 2 users set up on Windows XP. One of the users works well. When I log on to the other user, I get this message: "Dr Watson Postmortem Debugger has encountered a problem and needs to close". I have tried clicking on "Send Error Report" and "Don't send". It freezes up that side of the computer and won't do anything.
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?
Dr 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.
I am having problems whenever I leave my computer for more than a couple of hours.When I come back to it, it is sluggish or completely frozen and has to be rebooted.Then I am having trouble with only certain web sites running extremely slowly while most others run normally in IE7.As for my computer, it is 2 1/2 years old.It is a Gateway 3 GHz with 1 GB RAM, running XP Media Center.I also have an HP 3GHz with 2GB RAM with XP Media Center that I try to keep running for my husband, and a whole room full of ancient obsolete machines dating all the way back to windows 95.The HP is only 6 months old refurb.The two are networked together with a Netgear wireless router using the wired ports and Cox broadband access.They are firewalled behind the router and additionally, using Zone Alarm Pro.I am running the full suite of Zone Alarm security products including firewall virus protection and spyware removal tool on both.In addition I am running Webroot spyware removal tool on both and AOL spyware removal tool (which is due to expire soon.)All utilities run daily on both machines separately.Automatic updates for Windows is enabled on the HP because my husband can't be bothered with updates.On the Gateway I have the alerts enabled with the option to download and install windows updates at my discretion.
About two months ago, despite all the security software I have in place, two Trojans were discovered in the Gateway machine.Stupid me, instead of leaving them in quarantine, I deleted them, taking out a piece of my boot sector where they must have embedded themselves.It was telling me that the NTLDR file was missing among other things.I had been guilty of not doing regular backups and had an enormous amount of data on my hard drive.I had already purchased a large external storage unit including auto backup software with good intentions and then put it in the closet unopened for several months to be dealt with at a later date.At the first hint of trouble before deleting the Trojans I quickly dumped my documents and photos into my husbands computer, and just in time because I could not even boot into safe mode after I lost boot capability, and the machine was stuck in a continuous restart cycle.
I disabled the restart on boot failure option in setup and tried the System Restore option to try and repair the windows files, but it would not allow me to choose the non destructive restore option. It kept warning me that all my files would be deleted and gave me no other option than to say OK. Then at that point I would have to shut down the machine to get out of that screen and avoid starting the restore. I have an XP pro upgrade version disk that I purchased a few years back, but I can never get the files to all copy correctly for a clean windows install and I didn't know if it would repair a windows installation that had a restore partition loaded on the same hard drive.
After installing a couple of programs I was receiving this "Application has generated an exception that could not be handled" it asks to press ok to terminate and cancel to debug. Once I press cancel to debug it comes up with "No debugger found. Registed JIT debugger is not available. An attempt to launch a JIT debugger with the following command resulted in an error code of 0x2(2). Please check computer settings." How do I fix this problem? I am running a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop with WinXP Home.
I have read everything I could find in this group on Dr watson, I still do not know WHAt he is and why he is there,,,,I was told he was spyware and should be deleted out of the pc. Did that, he came back! It says it is from Microsoft, can ANYONE tell the answeres to the what and why about this little dr man.
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.
I have Been getting errors and think that this may be a problem.(drwatson) I know what it is and what its for. I have done some research and attemted a few things before coming here.
I am using windows XP Professional.After every few minutes there is an message that the Dr Watson Debugger... has stopped working and needs to close.Then Windows Explorer stops responding and everytime I have to restart the computer.If you have any information about this then please inform as i keep losing all the data each and everytime this happnes.Also I would like to mention here that previously I was using Vista and I'm very new to XP so don't have a lot of knowledge about it too.
I 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.
Have you looked at the fact that when I loaded windows as a new system one of the core drivers was a kernel debugger.I still have this game that I cannot play and now it is more than frustrating.
About a week ago I got this message Dr.Watsons Post Mortem Debugger has encountered a problem and needs to close. I have win xp home add. Now when I try to open control panel my pc freezes up and I have to reboot. I also can't open win explorer. What is thing and how can I undo it. HELP PLEASE!!
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.
if not, MODS can feel free to move away - maybe it should go in "All Other Software". Have been reading up on the Micrisoft Windows Debugger tool (for reading and interpreting dump files), and it looks like maybe it's only for XP Pro, NOT XP Home, but the literature is confusing and unclear at best.
I do not know what's going on, in the middle of surfing tend to receive an error message:'DrWatson Postmortem Debugger has encountered a problem and needs to close.Please tell Microsoft about this problem' which prompts me to send error report.Sometimes I also receive internet explorer error report similar to the above.May I know what is wrong and how do I eliminate such errors from my computer?Please recommend a useful tool/program for curbing these problems.I am running on windows XP and internet explorer 5.
As I was trying to remove something from my system, I got an error message referencing "Dr. Watson Postmortem debugger." I did a quick google, and it looks like this might be something that's malicious. I'm posting a HiJack This log below; BTW, I'm running Windows XP Media Center Rollback 2.

I have been having a problem with my OS. I recently just reformatted my hard drive, because of the problem I am having, just to have it come back on me.The problem I am having is with my Windows Explorer and Dr Watson PostMortem Debugger. 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).
Each time i go into a particular folder i get either the message, program can not respond or i get dr watson postmortem debugger.I would like to lnow why this it and how i can reslove it, if i go into one folder all other ones are ok.
I am using a Dell Computer with windows xp. 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 recieved an error message saying: Error Loading EGDACCESS 1057_dll What does that mean? In plain English please. Also said something about DrWatson Postmortem Debugger.
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 have an icon from microsoft.saids it has updates to install for microsoft office, update service pack 3.the only thing is it won't update.and the icon won't go away until it gets updated .plus norton keeps giving me a box saids norton can't update feature.to uninstall norton than reinstall.now my son did up my whole computer so i am afraid to really touch anything.
I'm getting an error message at startup and when I run a couple of programs, An exception "unhandled win32 exception has occurred in programname.exe" However no debuggers are registered that can debug this exception. Unable to jet debug. I contacted Microsoft support who advise to do a repair install of xp, but I did this once before, on a different pc, and lost all the startmenu shortcuts to my installed programs, so am a bit loathe to do this, also as a test I created another administrative account and I don't get this issue. The simple solution (but not the most convenient) would be to use this other account, but is there another way around this?
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.
