The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q186234 SYMPTOMS
When you try to use the Dr. Watson tool to troubleshoot a computer issue,
you may receive the following message:
The application or one of its DLLs used an uninitialized function
pointer variable or attempted to use a DLL which has already been
freed.
Also, you may not receive the .dll file name, and you may not receive a
program name, which may lead you to conclude the issue is caused by the
only running program, Dr. Watson.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the issue is caused by a program that creates a
fault in a system resource. When this occurs, Dr. Watson may not be able
to correctly identify the actual program or file that caused the issue.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
