Tools.

4
Reproduce the fault.
5
Click Details in the Program Fault window.
6
View the Diagnosis window to determine the source of the fault.

If the issue is intermittent or not easy to reproduce, put Dr. Watson in your
Startup folder so that it is always running and will be ready to capture the
fault information as and when the fault recurs.

When the fault next occurs examine the information captured in the log file.
To save the information generated by Dr. Watson, click Save on the File
menu.
You may also wish to add a few comments of your own stating under
what circumstances the fault occurred. When you have done this, select the
File menu and click Save or Save As to save the file. Note that if you only
click OK in the Dr. Watson dialog box, the information that you enter in the
text box is not saved.
