First of all dwwin.exe (Dr Watson) is an error reporting tool not the
problem itself, it report the error to an Event Log in the Event Viewer for
any error report for a program didn't release the memory while the computer
shut down, like your Anti-Virus or other Third-Party applications.
So it will be wise if you look in your Event Viewer log and see if there are
any Error Messages (X) caused by Applications/Hardware and double click (X)
to get more Info and you can copy & Paste them in your next post for us to
have a look and hopefully one will give you the right procedure to cure this
issue.
To access the Event Viewer do the Following:
Open a run command and type in the input box:
eventvwr click [OK] / Hit [Enter] on your keyboard.
Here you are on the Event Viewer you will see three Folders:
Application
Security
System
By clicking on each you will see the Event Log for it in the Right
pane/window look for any Red X and double click it get the exact Error and
the application name.
The same with the other two.

Hi,
You have a conflict or a bad Driver on the TV Turner and your NIC?.
Open the Device Manager and look for any Malfunctioning or Conflicting
Devices and uninstall it then Reinstall and see if that will help.
Also try to run the updates for these Devices and get the latest drivers
updates from the Manufacturer website.
Do you have Windows XP MCE 2005?.

I got this on 2 computers when shuttin off.

What is this? Is it normal? And will it happen every time I shut down my
computers?

First of all dwwin.exe (Dr Watson) is an error reporting tool not the
problem itself, it report the error to an Event Log in the Event Viewer for
any error report for a program didn't release the memory while the computer
shut down, like your Anti-Virus or other Third-Party applications.
So it will be wise if you look in your Event Viewer log and see if there are
any Error Messages (X) caused by Applications/Hardware and double click (X)
to get more Info and you can copy & Paste them in your next post for us to
have a look and hopefully one will give you the right procedure to cure this
issue.
To access the Event Viewer do the Following:
Open a run command and type in the input box:
eventvwr click [OK] / Hit [Enter] on your keyboard.
Here you are on the Event Viewer you will see three Folders:
Application
Security
System
By clicking on each you will see the Event Log for it in the Right
pane/window look for any Red X and double click it get the exact Error and
the application name.
The same with the other two.
