Hi there, I am new to this amazing site...so please forgive me if I am rehashing a previous topic and redirect me accordingly.

As per at least on other posted topic, I am receiving an annoying pop-up window when I login to my Windows XP PC telling me that DrWatson Postmortem Debugger has experienced a problem, blah, blah, blah. Then the system usually hangs.

I have read your instructions to another user and done the following to try to pre-empt asking for advice:

Loaded and ran - HijackThis v 1.99.1 (initial log is below)
Ran - About:Buster
Ran - CleanUp!
Ran - CWShredder 2.11
Ran - Ad-Aware

I also:

Ran - NAV
Ran - Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta
and Ran - SpyBot

Unfortunately, nothing weird seemed to be reported by any of these programs (if I understood the reports correctly).

The problem started somewhere around the time I was instructed by an IT dude to turn off my Windows XP firewall to allow a SonicWall VPN connection to an external server AND a WinVNC VPN server to run so that I could remotely access my PC (neither of these actually worked). I was told that the server firewall would be sufficient.

I then started to have problems writing files with the Adobe Distiller and my computer seems to get much slower.

After consultation with the IT dude, I disabled the VPN software, unplugged the LAN cable, reinstalled Windows XP, and turned the Windows Xp firewall back on. Everything seemed to work sort of OK... then the Adobe Distiller problems started again.

The only other thing that I did was to install a trial version of Multinetwork Manager to try to connect to another domain.

Then the DrWatson messages started again...

Please Help!

THANK YOU.

Scott

I haven't read any replies to my post...so I disabled DrWatson in my Registry. Should I still bother to try to find the original problem?

Thank you.
