I'm a little surprised that no one has weighed in on this problem. Is this
one of those mysteries that is destined never to be solved?
Why is DWWIN trying to start up every time the system is shutting down or
restarting?
scratching head...

Every time I log off or shut down Windows, a message box pops up briefly
and the following entry appears in my System Event Log:
Event Type: Information
Event Source: Application Popup
Event Category: None
Event ID: 26
Date: 5/29/2008
Time: 11:11:59 PM
User: N/A
Computer: TOM
Description:
Application popup: dwwin.exe - DLL Initialization Failed : The application
failed to initialize because the window station is shutting down.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
The text of the message box is that which follows "Application popup:"
above.
The message box only stays for a few seconds and then goes away as the
logoff, shutdown or restart proceeds.
This started happening before I installed Service Pack 3. For a while there
were entries in the Application Log that corresponded timewise with the
System Log entry, but that's stopped happening. There's no other entry in
the Event Logs that I can follow up on.
It's so consistent (and annoying) that I've turned off the Critical Stop
system sound, which is a loud "uh-oh".
Help and Support only offers the suggestion to reinstall the application,
but since this appears to be a Windows core program, I really don't know
what to do.
