I was wondering if anyone has used the Dr. Watson utility (DRWATSON.EXE) to
track what is happening when windows bombs, and if so, could they help me
interpret the results.

It has been a long time since I coded anything in assembly language, but not
everything that the good doctor spits out is foreign.  I just need some help
in determining what information is most critical to look at first, second
and so on...

here is an excerpt from a system crash:

Any help greatly appreciated.
