Open Windows Explorer and go the C:\WINNT\system32 folder, double-click on DRWTSN32.EXE file. Uncheck the Visual Notification and Sound Notification checkboxes, and click OK. I do this on all my WinNT and Win2k boxes, as Dr. Watson is a resource hog when you have a program crash, and it records nothing useful. Actually, I uncheck everything except for the Append To Existing Log File checkbox.
