Getting error message "dwwin.exe-.DLL Initialization failed when I shut down my computer

I hope I posted this on the right board, please forgive me if I didn't. I have a Dimension 8250 and when I go to shut it down I get an error stating that dwwin.exe-.DLL Initialization failed. the application failed to initialize because the windows station is shutting down. Is this fixable?  I think that it has something to do with the error reporting.  Please any help would be appreciated

The_Highlander,

No you didn't get it on the right board. You should post this to the forum for your version of windows for assistance with this issue. What version of windows do you have installed on this system? Have you checked the system for VIRUSES? Have you checked it for spyware?

Highlander, dwwin.exe is part of Dr.Watson, Microsoft's error reporting tool. Try going into task manager to see what tasks are running before you shut down. Maybe shutting them down one at a time you'll be able to nail the problem application. Also check your event log, it also might help in determining the problem application.
