Does this only occur AFTER you viewed a PDF file on the Internet or

And then when you shutdown, you get the error?

What happens if you reboot, do nothing, and then shutdown? Do you
get the error?

When the error occurs, bring up Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL), and
check under
processes for a process called sw.exe (or something).

Your error message that you stated was 'sw: AcroRd32.exe has an
error.
......'. Try searching on your system for a 'sw.exe' file. Maybe
that will
help you to figure out, if something is called at shutdown.

Just checked under Google. Look for C:\Windows\System32\sw.exe.
According
to Google, this is a Spyware program from Greatis Software or it can
be a
SmartWhoIs application from yahoo.

If you find it, right-click, Properties and see if it has a Version
tab. If
so, then see you owns it. If no Version tab, then most likely it is
Spyware, most spyware apps leave the version info out so that you
cannot
track them.

If found, search your registry for 'sw.exe'. Somehow, this is being
called
at shutdown by something.

Recently I start getting an Appplication Error message whenever I'm
shutting
down my computers, same error on both my computers. Upon shutting
down,
I'll receive a notification that Dr Watson (drwin.exe) is unable to
start because
Windows is shutting down. After this message, I'll get an error
message
telling me that "sw: AcroRd32.exe has an error. 0x5ad71531
reference
memory at 0x00000014 could not be read".

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling my Adobe Reader 7.0.8, but it
doesn't
work. I would appreciate if someone can give me some light on this
matter.
Does the fault lies with my windows or the reader? Not likely to be
hardware
problem cos the same problem happens on both my computers.

Thank you.
