Re: Application Error

So you don't bring IE up at all, either.

Did you follow my instructions and look for SW.exe or try the Task Manager
option?

And uninstalling it, I assume, will not solve the problem. According to the
original poster, the problem remains.
Adding a new vairable onto the system, while trying to solve a problem, is
not the answer.
If it's malware/spyware, I'm assuming a person would like to know prior to
adding a new possible problem onto the system.

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.
