dwwin.exe error

Hi,i seem to be getting this error on shutdown on win xp. I have just
upgraded my Norton AV 2002 to the latest 2005 version so i assumed it had
something to do with that program. Looking at the Symantec site doesnt help
and ive tried a few pointers via google with no success. I believe there is
an easy way to disable this executable from working??. Anyone experienced
this problem and found a fix?. Thanks for any advice. I have all the windows
updates etc and the machine is virus and spyware free.

Cheers

 

Hmmmm...so it shouldnt be terminated. My PC still shuts down alright and
doesnt seem to have any problems but that warning that comes up just before
it shuts down is annoying.

 

What do the event logs have to say about it?

 

In event viewer i get "application popup" dwwin.exe - DLL initialisation
failed: The application failed to initialize because the window station is
shutting down".

The funny thing is that my other PC running XP is doing the same thing now?.
I assume its something common between the 2 PCs such as a windows update
maybe? The second PC runs Norton AV 2004. Both are fully updated patch wise.
Ive tried deleting the last windows update KB896344 but that didnt seem to
affect it.

 

dwwin is the annoying program that does the "oops an application has crashed,
would you like to tell microsoft" dialogs. If a program crashes when your
shutting down, that happens.

 

If this is true, then there's a way of turning this reporting dialog
off completely. I just wish I knew where I saw it. Try Googling
around.

Adam.
