BUG: No Dr. Watson Log File in Drive's Root Directory

 * }

Q88127

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.1

-

SYMPTOMS
In the Microsoft Windows operating system, when the Dr. Watson fault- logging application is installed and an application execution error occurs, the Dr. Watson's Clues dialog box does not appear. Opening the Dr. Watson application reveals that an error exists in the :\\DRWATSON.LOG file.

CAUSE
The Windows directory is the root directory of a logical drive, and the logical drive is listed in the MS-DOS PATH environment variable in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, do not map the Windows directory to the root directory of a logical drive.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Dr. Watson version 3.1, which is provided with Windows version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
