While using Microsoft Windows, we usually experience some errors that pop out of nowhere in front of us on the screen. These errors are followed up by a dialog message box that advices you to send the error report to Microsoft for error processing. Usually these types of errors occur due to sudden program halts, when your currently running program becomes unresponsive or get stuck. There isn’t any error exception associated with the application fault. “Dr.Watson Info” is the term that Microsoft Windows support personnel refers to these kinds of errors. “Dr.Watson Info” though creates a text file log (Drwtsn32.log) but that can only be delivered to Microsoft support personnel. Therefore this “Dr.Watson Info” doesn’t give much information about the error and without viewing the error log it is not possible for user/developer to solve the problem.

Now to view the complete error log and to find the issue, Error Report Grabber is the right tool for this kind of job. This is a tool which helps the user/developer to not only review the contents of this data but also to save it from that dialog box.

In order to use this application, you just have to open the error dialog window for which you want to view error, and then click Find Report. The “Error Report Grabber” will find the report for you and show all the error relevant information. For copying and future reference of this error you just have to click the Grab button.
