DrWatson, is he messing with my system?

[CircleFaust]

dr watson seems to be screwing with my machine.

there is a .txt file being created in c:documents and settings\allusers\application data\microsoft called drwtsn32

at one point this file was 4Gb! in size. i deleted it. when i rebooted the machine it reappeared and increased in size to nearly 1Gb after using the machine for a few minutes.

how do i stop this. is it some sort of log file? the machine is super slow now and my internet connection has went down.

i went into dr watson under system information but cant see a way of turning this off

Type drwtsn32 from Start->Run then select log type mini and untick all dump options.

Or if it still annoys you you can disable it - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/188296

Dump the program

ta.
would you say it's a necessary program to have running?

Not really. It's just an error reporting tool left over from previous versions. It doesn't fix things.
