Anyone know what it is?

I think DrWatson is some sort of debugger, I never have it activated as it's just a process taking memory :P

And you get messages you dont want to see while using it too.

Dr. Watson is a diagnostic tool that gathers information about your computer when a problem occurs with a program. The information gathered by Dr. Watson is called a snapshot. The snapshot includes information that:

- Identifies the program that has a problem.
- Offers a detailed description of the cause.
- May provide a resolution for the problem.

Taken from the MS site. Basically it dumps all the info needed to debug an error into a file. I wouldn't worry too much about your error message. it's probably exactly as it says and DrW just didn't bind in time.

In typical MS fashion it causes more bugs than any other part of Windows. I never see it in Win2K though. I think you have to install Office XP or similar to get infected.
