This should be in the computer section....

Dr Watson is a utility that runs if a program on your computer has crashed (generates debug messages etc and tries to tidy up resources etc). Dr watson isn't your problem, it's whatever caused it to be invoked that's the thing to look at...

IIRC there should be a drwatson.log file (name maybe slightly different) that'll record what's causing a crash.

You can kill the drwtsn32.exe task. If you then run it manually (C:\Windows\system32\drwtsn32.exe), you can change its settings - the main one to turn off would be the 'Create Crash Dump File' as this will dump a copy of a load of your memory to disk each time something crashes.
