2.2.7 Windows NT Dr. Watson Utilities
Dr. Watson (DRWATSON.EXE) is a diagnostic utility that detects system and
application failures (for example, general protection (GP) faults) and stores
Windows internal data in a file called DRWATSON.LOG. Certain areas of this file
may be useful when troubleshooting problems that may exist.
2.2.7.1 How to Read a Dr. Watson Log
The Dr. Watson log is divided into sections, with each section being separated by
a blank line.
•
The start (and stop) line records the time and date that Dr. Watson was
started. A series of start lines indicates Windows with no application errors.
A start line immediately followed by a stop line indicates the same thing.
•
The failure report line records the time and date when the error occurred. It
also tells which version of Dr. Watson was running at the time.
•
The next two lines are related. The line ″<APPLICATION NAME> had a
<fault description> fault at <module name> <cs: ip register>″ is a
descriptive way of stating the next line (the $tag$ line). The $tag$ line divides
the error into fields separated by ″$″. The first field indicates what
application you were in when the error occurred. The second field indicates
the probable error. The third field indicates which module probably caused
the error, and its memory location. The fourth field is the instruction in the
