I believe Dr. Watson is trying to debug an IE crash and requires both terminate and modify permissions to do so (on protected apps). You should see drwtsn32.exe and then dwwin.exe execute when a crash occurs.

It is not Prevx . But , to answer your question , it does . Prevx was removed though . It is the PD alert that will not allow modification . Could it be Outpost not allowing it to modify EVEN though it is the PG that alerts me to NOT allowing it to modify .?

It will block network access for a modified process. Not sure if it blocks the modification though.

I do and it will . But , Outpost would popup telling me . Not PG . PG is what is stopping the modification and I cannot figure out why . And thank you for the time you are spending on this with me . That is super kind of you

Nick

Edit: On second thought, PG would alert you there as well. Tough one to troubleshoot (assuming all your settings are correct) without being able to crash IE.

What is recommended as far as set up for drwtsn32.exe and dwwin.exe? Right now I have them shutoff.

Hi William .
I think they ( DCS ) actually recommends turning them off . I cannot remember so do not quote me . I seem to remember being told that though .
