Dr.Watson, that\'s one of those half-baked \'virus scanner wannabe\'s as far as I remember. My advice would be to uninstall it and get some proper PC protection. That will also fix the problem with you not being able to go into the Properties menu, which is the only way you\'re going to be able to fix this without completely reinstalling. :)

Dr.Watson has been part of windows for a long time. It\'s a program debugger.

If you didn\'t understand the posts about the --auto trick, then you must be incredibly stupid, no offence. Dozens of people explained the thing over and over and over again to hunderds of people like you. I don\'t think you\'ve really tried to understand anyway. But, especially for you, I will explain ONE more time.
On second thought, I won\'t, just use the search button. And please, type a normal post next time.

edit: You\'re lucky I\'m in a good mood.
