Almost everytime I log off or shut down my computer I recieve an error message. I can't seem to see what it says because my computer shuts off to fast in order to read it, but I found it in my event log. The message read Dwwin.exe- DLL failed to intialize during shut down. This error is getting anoying and I have read a lot of forums to fix this problem.. Can SomeOne HELP ME, PLEASE????

Items in blue which are underlined are clickable to give more information about the process

Click start then run, type sfc /scannow then press enter, you need the XP CD

Windows File Protection will show an on screen blue progress bar which will simply disappear when the scan is complete, reboot when it does

Occasionally the system file check does not start using run, so you can also right click the taskbar, click task manager, click file, new task, type sfc /scannow then click OK

If you do not have an XP CD you can borrow a same version as was originally installed XP CD, if you downloaded SP2 then you need an SP1 XP CD


A few said adjusting adobe did stop the ddwin error, other than sfc /scannow it could be a logitech wireless mouse or some gamepads can cause it
