Take a look in your startup folder. Watch.exe checks to see if the lid on yur scanner is open or not. If you recently installed scanner software, you might want to uninstall it and/or look for updated drivers.
It helps if you also tell us what OS you are using.

First of all do you have a scanner connected to your computer? If you do mnot then read the next paragraph, if you do then it sounds like you need to uninstll and reinstall the scanner.
Click start - settings - control panel - add/remove programs.
Look for the name of your scanner, highlight it and then press the add/remove button at the bottom right. You may be asked some quesions, answer accordingly. IF you are aksed a question about removing shared files that are not in use anymore, choose yes to all. After the uninstall is complete, restart you comeputer. After it comes back up, use the disk that came with the computer, and reinstall the scanner.
If you do not have a scanner installed, do the following.
Click start then run. type msconfig. In the window that opens, click the tab at the top that reads startup. All the items listed here with a check beside them are applications that start when you boot your PC. Check for a line that says watch.exe. Uncheck it, and press OK. When asked to restart, press yes. This should take care of the watch.exe error.
