This is very annoying to deal with. My computer is locking up and unlocking
itself and by this time it knocks me offline. I read some of the posts but I
haven't came across one that was having the same problem as me. I had
downloaded error guard and it detected that I had 365 errors in my registry
but they want to charge you to clean it up and then I went to the event
viewer log and i have warnings and errors. I have anitvirus program and
adware program so I know that that's not it. but some the applications are
hanging(not responding). I read one the discussions about the Dr. Watson
program can anyone tell me where I can get it so I can get down to the nitty
gritty. I've kept my baby running in good condition for a while now but this
just takes the cake!!!!!

Thanks

Dr Watson can be found in C:\Windows\system32 as drwatson.exe and
drwtsn32.exe.

Thank you,
I ran it and it came back as no fault detected. Have I posted my question in
the wrong section? If I did I am sorry. :-)

Try Norton SystemWorks. The program is WinDoctor. What it
detects are registry errors and gives you the options to
clean up/delete the registry errors.
Also Write down the entries as you may need to edit the
registry later.
You can also retain the log file by manually copying the log
file from the WinDoctor folder. You'll need to do some
snooping around to locate it (or search *.log *.txt)

In Romans 1 there are qualities of Unregenerate man listed
which describe him in the last days.
Is your quality found on this list??
