Dr. Watson Assistance
Please help... I can't find it anywhere else on the net!

Hi guys...
I have a problem. Two or three times a day I get a message come up saying "Dr Watson post moretom debugger has encountered a problem and needs to close." and then It says "Ending Program - Click here to end now" , so I do, and then another one pops up. I ctrl alt del and theres 110 processes running saying dwwin.exe and drwts32.exe - all dr watson. Then I cant restart without pressing end now to 110 process (sometimes more).
This happened a week and a half ago (started to happen) after I did a registry cleanup. I restored back a few days, but nothing changed. I don't know what triggers it either - nothing I do has any relation to it.
I need help.
I am running XP SP2, and it isn't anything to do with memory overload because I got 1.5 gig of ram.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Will.

OMFG! I just realised something on inspecting my add/remove programs I found an update for: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1 then underneath in a sub column is something called Dr. Watson.. Which I installed from windows update on 9/12/07. two days later my problem arises.
Coincidence? I think not. Should I uninstall, contact microsoft, is this my fault then guys?
All I have done is downloaded an update from the Microsoft Update.
Please guys keep posting, even if it not helpful to you I may find it comforting.
Thanks.

Ok Guys - sorry for four reposts, but I think its sorted. It was a mess up with logitech webcam and kaspersky anti vir, which did it... Uninstalled webcam and got the newest evrsion of kaspersky, and I think i'm all sorted.
Thankyou for your kind help!

And I didn't mean 80 popups - I meant 80 Processes - sorry. I just did end process to all of them. Sometimes there aren't any popups, just the "loading" Cursor pops up, when I'm not doing anything and then I ctrl+alt+del and its got them going...
