Tx in advance

 

Don't know if this will help. But Dr Watson used to piss me off every once in a while. I disabled it. No worries.

Thanks ZapJB

 

I have done the same thing that Zapjb did concerning Dr. Watson. However that only puts a band-aid on the problem, not a cure. It does sound like an un-install\re-install of Adobe might solve your problem though.

 

I've found that as long as you uncheck the "Append To Existing Log File" option in drwtsn32.exe that Dr Watson can run in the background unnoticed.

The problem is that the log file can get huge if you have numerous incidents and the log file can take forever to append. So it sits there chewing up resources for no good reason.

 

I'm so much happier without drwatson.

 

Why the hell is it Called Dr.Watson Anyway

 

elementary my dear ................

 

Where is the DrWatson log file?
Can I delete it if I want?
How to turn DrW off? ..oops sorry saw that above.
