Have you tried googling them.. I know this doesn't help much but there is a database site where you enter the process and it tells you what it is and whether it is necessary. I'll try and find it again but it was a tweak guide that helped you trim down your startup folder

Dr. Watson is satan. The program is Dr. Watson Postmortem Debugger. It comes with windows. I had over 200 instrances of it running one time and i kept getting errors with it that would close anything I had open. I gave up on trying to fix it after a week and reformatted.

I did google it and stuff and I noticed it happens when my Page File usage goes up, for example, if I use the BF2Editor, when I close SBC Browser it would say it encountered an error and needed to close
I was just worried it was a virus or something, a virus scan yields no problems but yet my computer is acting all wierd

drwtsn is a default windows proccess
Why the hell does it say SBC Browser encountered an error and needs to close or something whenever I close it?

I used to get a similar error...
DrWatson would rear its ugly head and windows explorer used to then hang my system. It was everytime i tried to open my mp3 folder that had over 3000 mp3's that weren't categorised into folders. Eventually, it corrupted my windows install (cos i probably reset at the wrong time). A reformat and some sensible filing for my music......means i have never seen the error again

Your only fix unless you have the virus that infected page files (A one in a billion chance as every AV detects it. It was horrible a few years ago.) is to reinstall windows. Trust me. Your **** will continue to randomly close. Everytime u get an error with any program while u have this problem it opens yet another instance of Dr. Watson. Now when ever I reinstall the first thing I do is turn off Dr. Watson. It will only get worse as time goes on. Just back up your crap and reinstall.
