Just to clear things up:

drwtsn32.exe is a part of windows designed to work out why a program crashed. By default, if a program crashes the system will run drwtsn32, which will then save the current state of the program (registers, call stack, memory, etc.). This information can then be used to find where the program crashed and often why.

It's not a good idea to let a program continue running after it has crashed, because what happens next is unpredictable. It could work fine, or it could start randomly deleting files.
