Dw15.exe

few days back i got this DW15.EXE problem. i cant key in anything in the userid/password fields and even search field in google. in short its all the text fields in IE. there's also problem in opening the dialog in Help>ABOUT IE. it says something about dw15.exe and errors when i propertie to some url. when i shutdown, there's this unable to initialise dw15.exe error. anyway i got it all fixed by re-installing the entire IE and got my media-bar fixed as well.
my question now is, what the heck is this DW15.EXE? what it does and any effect if i deleted it?
not to forget merry christmas to all

thanks in advance.

 

realix--I think DW15.exe is part of the Internet Explorer Error Reporting Tool.

hi,
my problem is, the dw15.exe is the error i had trouble with. i got no idea if it's the cause that disabled the text fields on forms. it's not the "IE6 had detected problem and will restart blah blah.." thing. i just couldnt insert text into text fields and view url properties. so what's the problem behind it? i also could not do a virus on my NAV as its affected as well, but i did a online scan and no virus found.

 

I noticed a media bar was mentioned, along with IE being corrupted. It brings to mind a scan for spy/adware might be in order.
