How to troubleshoot program faults with Dr. Watson
Dr. Watson is a program error troubleshooting tool that traps program faults (that are running in ring three of the processor), and generates a snapshot of the operating system that you can use to diagnose the fault. This tool interprets program errors in Windows-based programs and attempts to diagnose them. When you run Dr. Watson, it automatically creates a log file when a program fault occurs. The log files have a .wlg extension, and are stored in the \Windows\Drwatson folder. The log file indicates the program that created the fault, the program that the fault occurred in, and the memory address where the fault occurred. Dr. Watson cannot create a snapshot if the program does not respond (hangs).
