I have a file drwtsn32 which is 16.5 GB, about 25% of my HD... Is this normal? Is this necessary?

I have windows XP with drwtsn32... the file occupies about 25% of my hard drive... Is this Normal?... Is this necessary?

Hi, John banks

1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

2 do you have questions about the computer?

3. do you have security software installed on the computer?

Drwtsn32 is a file associated with the tool Dr. Watson in Windows XP.

Dr. Watson detects information about program and system failures and records the information in a log file in the event of a program error, Dr. Watson starts automatically.

I suggest that you disable Dr. Watson on the computer and check if it helps.

I also suggest you scan the computer for malware infections or viruses and delete using the online scanner.

  • I have a power shot sx HS 40 & need information about the use of filters with this camera? Thank you ~.

    I have a power shot sx 40 & would like information on the use of filters with this device?

    Thank you ~.

    Hi Rainlily,

    You will need the # model Canon adapter filter f-DC67A to use filters on this camera, which costs about $25.00. Bower makes one for about $9.00 available in B & H and Bower products work well with the Canon. This adapter uses 67 mm filters. If you have not yet all filters, I would recommend Hoya or Tiffen filters as they are of high quality at reasonable prices. Do not get the expensive filters because in general they can cause color casts that may be difficult to view the process on. Have fun!

  • I have numerious files on my drive 'C' which are empty. These folders can be deleted safely?

    I have many files on my drive 'C' which are empty and I want if I can delete these folders without harming my computer?

    For example, in C, I have an empty folder called Config.Msi.

    Another folder called perflogs folder with empty named Admin.
    Also under perflogs folder a subfolder called Diagnostics with you I have subfolders under him and one of the files is empty.  each subfolder begins with a date, then a-0002, 0003, 0004 (it is empty).
    Under Program Files, I have a folder called MSXML 4.0 and it is empty.

    There are a few empty folders and subfolders.  If they are not needed I see no point in keeping it in particular it it slows down my computer.

    Any help or insight will be appreciated.  I'm not very computer savy, but have a bit of knowledge.

    Hi Louise,.

    The files you mentioned are used by system files and processes for various reasons. These folders are hidden by default.

    CONFIG. MSI folder is a folder hidden on the drive root Windows, usually C drive. The folder is used by the Windows Installer process during the installation of the software.

    Essentially the CONFIG. MSI file contains backups of files that are installed or updated during a program installation. A success, this folder and files are deleted automatically. However, sometimes the installation program is unable to delete these files. In this case, you can safely remove the CONFIG. MSI file and the files on your hard drive.

    All of these folders you see are file system created and I would leave him alone.

  • Some Excel files download but do not show associated with Excel or seem to have no file name extension.

    Some Excel files download but do not show associated with Excel or seem to have no file name extension. If I download these files using Internet Explorer, they open properly. I can add xls or xlsx file and it will open properly with Excel. If I select the file open the 'Open with' dialog box and I If select Excel, the file does not open at all... nothing happens and Excel does not open. The excel in the picture as an attachment file are those where I added the excel file name extension.

    Unfortunately, the way that Firefox gives the name of file is more literal and less improvisational than Internet Explorer, you may need to add this extension .xls or .xlsx yourself from time to time.

    If you want to do it in the shortest time, you can change the immediate download to ask you where to save the file, which also foresees the possibility to change the file name. If you want to try it, the setting is described here: start-up, homepage, tabs and download settings.

  • I'm on windows vista, the review said that I have a file that uses disk space

    I 'm on windows vista the healthcheck says I have a file using disk space, the file name is windows.old, if I just delete this, then it will hurt my laptop, I looked at the file and there are thousands of articles, my laptop is slow, what I'm doing. My system is 32 bit. Will someone please advise me in laymans terms I'm not exactly a pro with laptops.


    The Windows.old subfolder contains all of the files from a previous installation of Windows. If you copied all your personal data of the user subfolder of windows.old. Then, it is safe to delete.
    And, since it is the Windows Update forum, which focuses on the update of the issues, this question must be validated in a more appropriate forum. Such as the
    Maintenance forum and performance of Vista.

  • Package of files links have identical file names

    It's the kind of theoretical. I guess I could just try and find out, but I'm sure someone here will know the answer.

    I am putting together a book with a large number (thousands) of linked graphics. It has research as I'll end up with a folder structure for my graphics related, Chapter1 graphic in the folder chapter1 Chapter2 graphic in the folder Chapter 2, etc. Chapter 1 will have 543 graphics associated with names that begin with Eqn00001.eps and end by Eqn00543.eps. Chapter 2 will have different related graphics which, unfortunately, have the same file names, even though there may be more (or less).

    What will happen when I try to package it? It will overwrite the files, it will keep my folder structure, or it will give just straight up?

    When you compress a book, the book of .indb file and its .indd documents are copied to the folder of the package. All links placed in the records are also copied in one folder of links, even if they come from more than one folder. If you have multiple versions of the same file with the same name, originating from different folders, one version of this file is copied to the folder of links to package, but only if they have the same date of creation and modification. If files with the same name have different change dates they all get copied and renamed with a number suffix _1, _2, etc..
