Interesting Error

Anyone ever see this error before? I was attempting to open windows explorer and this just pops up. I've heard of DrWatson before on 98 systems, but I forget what it did. Oh, interesting wording as well. "Post Mortem" (My computer isn't dead yet).

"if you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost" That's always reasuring.

Nope never seen that error. DrWatson is like a debugger that tell you what happened when a program crashes, so it's ironic that Drwatson itself crashed.

Ya, tell me about it. What I find even funnier is the "An information you were working on MAY be lost". That's microsoft's was of saying "This program has really f*'d up. All the information that you typed in recently WILL be lost."

i remember in the last 6 months or so hearing about a drwatson virus that might be what you have here a fake message dont click on the send but check with the support at micorsoft first.

yes they still use doctor watson but not much he was basicly just for the ms people to know what happened when you messed up their brillantlly programed computers.

Actually I think that's a legit error, I've seen it happen with other programs. It's sort of like an illegal operation.
