    This process called Drwtsn32.exe keeps raping my system resources. Like using upwards of 75% of my processing power. I looked it up and it said it was some kind of debuging program windows uses. Well there aren't any errors that i'm aware of. Now starting up takes me like 10 minuets when I log onto my windows account. How do I stop this. I'm running Windows XP and I have yet to get SP2.

    Dr. Watson has existed in every OS since Windows NT 4.0

    It is running because it is debugging a crashing program, usually.

    Does it run in safe mode, too?

    I don't even know how to run XP in safe mode. But it wasn't as bad today when I turned things on. Not quite sure why though. I ran spybot but the only things it found was some DSO exploits (what ever that is) and something else, I forgot.
