Re: dwi.exe error

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Is it dwin or dwi? Do a Google search for 'dwin' and read there.

thank you for your feedback Ron.
This is a brand new computer and I have only installed the programs I
listed
outside of MS Office. However, I do run all those program once a week and
I
have run them on this computer but found nothing. If this is malware or
virus why did spybot, ad-aware or AVG pick this up. I have now install
regscrub and ran that too. It found a lot of items and I fixed them but I
still get the message. Do you know what else I can do?

Do
you regularly scan your PC with up-to-date anti virus and malware (i.e.,
SpyBot) programs?

Sorry if I am in the incorrect area, however I have also posted this
message
in the General area and thought that maybe that was the incorrect place
to
post.
I am having a problem when I shut off or restart my computer. A
message
flashes about dwin.exe and dll initialization error. It does not stop
my
computer from shutting down it only flashes real fast and then shuts
down
or
restarts. It is a brand new Vostro 1500 with Windows XP home edition.
The
only programs on there so far are PC tools, AVG, Ad-aware, Spybot, and
some
windows updates which is up to SP3. I have went into the startup and
unchecked everything one at a time to see if one of the programs in
startup
was doing it but I guess not because I still get this message. Can you
tell
me how to stop getting this message?
Thank you
