"dwwin.exe - DLL Initialization Failed" message on shutdown

[Aanand]

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. How to rectify this problem?

It seems there are a error regarding Dr. Watson in your Windows Installation.

To rectify it, go to your command prompt and enter:

Drwtsn32 -i
