Dr. Watson Does Not Seem to Trap GP Faults
Article ID: 198397
Article Last Modified on 11/4/2002
APPLIES TO
This article was previously published under Q198397
SYMPTOMS
When a general protection (GP) fault occurs, the Dr. Watson program
(Drwatson.exe) does not display any indication that the GP fault has
occurred, even though Dr. Watson is running.
CAUSE
The version of Dr. Watson included with Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2
does not display any indication that a GP fault has occurred. Instead, it
logs the fault information in a file named Faultlog.txt. This file is
stored in the Windows folder and is appended each time a GP fault occurs.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
