Dr Watson?

I came accross a program called Dr Watson in Windows XP and wondered what it was for, i checked out the help files but didnt understand a word?

So im curious as to what it does and how it can be used, i understand it can be used for troubleshooting?

It's used for reporting/tracking errors in applications and programs. It isn't used for problems with the OS. To view OS problems you would use Event Viewer.
