I have two Dell Dimension desktop PCs running Windows XP
Pro SP1. I see this same problem on both PCs, occasionally.
After clicking shutdown, an error message will come up
with the title "DDE Server Window" saying the process
cannot be closed. It has a timer saying it will continue
and a button to click to close it now. If I click the
button, the task closes and shutdown proceeds normally. If
I wait, Windows cannot close the task and shutdown stalls.
As I mentioned, this happens only some of the time. I
haven't seen any pattern to suggest when it will happen.
Any suggestions on how to make this go away entirely?
Many thanks.
