Try this:

Put your XP CD in your dvd/cd drive.
Start, Run, type without quotes "cmd". In the new screen type (always without quotes):
"X:" where X is where you have your CD drive. Then type "cd i386" and then "expand drwtsn32.ex_ c:\windows\system32\drwtsn32.exe"
Type "exit" and reboot

clearfiy me after i hvae to run drwtsn32.exe from cd rom or i have to copy it to c:\windows\system32\
You have to extract a "clean" version of the DrWatson executable, and copy it to the System32 folder.

The command:

"expand drwtsn32.ex_ c:\windows\system32\drwtsn32.exe"

will do this for you - change X: to your CD drive letter, i.e.

start, run, type cmd <press enter>

In the resulting window:

type E: (or whatever your cd drive is) <press enter>

then type:

expand drwtsn32.ex_ c:\windows\system32\drwtsn32.exe <press enter>

Then reboot (Start, Turn Off Computer - Restart)



mr.  and235100
pls tell me .
Was my previous comment not suitable?

If not - please tell me.

Can't open input file: drwtsn32.ex_.
Sorry - you need to run the expand command from

(not just E:)

Faulting application drwtsn32.exe, version 5.1.2600.0, faulting module dbghelp.dll, version 5.1.2600.2180, fault address 0x0001295d.

The shell stopped unexpectedly and Explorer.exe was restarted.

pls give me any suggestion

Okay - try

E:\i386\> expand dbghelp.dll c:\windows\system32\dbghelp.dll.exe

Then try

Start, Run, type:

regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\dbghelp.dll
F:\I386>i386\expand dbghelp.dll c:\windows\system32\dbghelp.dll.exe
The system cannot find the path specified.

F:\I386>regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\dbghelp.dll

F:\I386>
ERROR
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DBGHELP.DLL WAS LOADED, BUT DLLREGISTER SERVER ENTERY POINT WAS NOT FOUND.
THIS FILE CAN NOT BE REGISERD

if i repair windows can be it fix.
Yes - a repair install would probably sort this out:

http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm

Before that, try to use regasm to register the dll

i.e.

regasm c:\windows\system32\dbghelp.dll
F:\I386>regasm c:\windows\system32\dbghelp.dll
'regasm' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

F:\I386>
can u tell me why this happen and is there any other solution.
i am able to do work any folder but except one when i click windows show me its contents but goes freez state. i have to do end task to do again work.
Download a copy of dbghelp.dll from here:

http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?dbghelp

Copy it into System32 and try the regsrv32 command again.

This is quite a bad fault - as DrWatson actually "DrWatsoned" itself (to coin a phrase)

Do a full online AV scan here: http://www.trendmicro.com/hc_intro/default.asp
Try booting into Safe Mode - and run the regsrv32 command again

(reboot, press F8 just after the computer posts - before XP logo appears)

Select Safe Mode <press enter>
