What is Dr. Watson ?
| Dr. Watson Debugger |
| DrWatson, also referred to as the Windows NT Post Mortem Debugger, is similar in functionality to the Windows 3.1 DrWatson utility. In short, it is an application error debugger. That means it is a program that detects application errors, diagnoses the error, and logs the diagnostic information. If DrWatson shows up, your program has already crashed. When a program crashes DrWatson jumps in to see what went wrong and records that information. The information obtained and logged by Dr. Watson is needed by tech support groups to diagnose an application error. Software, as you know, is far from perfect (Web browsers are a good example), and trouble shooting the problems can sometimes be extremely difficult. Dr. Watson gives us a fighting chance to at least see what went wrong. |
