"dwwin.exe - DLL Initialization Failed" on shutdown

Asked Sep 30, 2003, 04:56 AM — 4 Answers
Whenever I shutdown windows, I get this message:

Dwwin.exe - DLL Initialization Failed -
The application failed to initialize because the window station is shutting down.


The message pops up quickly and dissappears only during shutdown... I was lucky enough to capture the message using a screen-capture software... (if not...I would never be able to ask this question)

Anyway...what's a 'dwwin.exe'?

QQAple, psi42 is on the right track. The site he link is a pretty good site about solving that dwwin.exe problem .

Here, this site tells you what it is:

You can disable dwwin.exe which is a Dr. Watson error-collector and reporting tool, in your registry like so:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionAeDebug

Or you can download dwwin.exe to try to repair it, here:

Otherwise, try also doing WINDOWS UPDATE from the "TOOLS" option at top of IE menu .
