      Come on guys--the ? was Not "who" but "what". I suppose i could give the poster some links to explain the "what" but "why" stop the fun? truenorth

        Yeah! I did see it but it was the question pertaining to the title that i was responding to.truenorth
        P.S. My own experience with this "alert" sometime back leaves more confusion than answers however as the poster will soon discover if he/she does some personal research on it.
        P.P.S. If you are an affectionato of the late Sherlock then you may be in for a treat in Nov.2009 when a new modernized version starring Robert Downey Jr. is due to hit the silver screen.

            squall_01, This link will give you a bit more insight into what Dr. Watson is (and isn't) and that it is associated with more than win 2000. It will also answer the "what" if the original poster ever returns. truenorth

                what about the friendly debugger?

                heh. I called it friendly. About as friendly as a mongolian with a drumful of broken glass eyeing you up for a "invasive" rear entry...

                Micro$oft's Dr. Watson is a slap in the face of real Dr. Watson. Total waste.
                If Sir Conan Doyle was still alive, I'm pretty sure, he'd sue M$ *censored* off.

                  The Ehvid.exe process crashes. This issue is reported by the Dr. Watson application when it occurs
