Run drwtsn32.exe to configure or to identify where the log and the crash dump files are created: click Start > Run… > and type drwtsn32 . Make sure that the Crash Dump Type is set to mini. Clear Dump Symbol Table and Append to Existing Log file. Tick Dump All Thread Contexts. Next run the monitoring module of Dr. Watson: Start > Run… > and type drwatson . Once a crash happens, Dr. Watson generates a minidump file and a report in the log file, including the address of the crash and the stack dump. This information may be useful to me so that I can track down the problem (please note that it is not always a problem in DynSite even though the crash happens in DynSite, sometimes it is simply due to an unstable system and a clean installation clears the problem.) Note: in Windows XP and later, DrWatson is always running so you don’t have to launch it. You can find the log file and the minidump in the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson
