In Configuration/Expert mode/ General is the ability to enable Watchdog. Why wouldn't you enable it please? It sounds like a good thing.

I personally found it annoying, especially if using Vista, it will pop up and report error even if there was none, that was down to slow accessing of certain files.

I would recommend off, if you have problems the the logs collector is the same thing, but run manually from your start menu.

Thanks for the advice PD. It is off for me!
