dwwin.exe logoff issue

[Guest]

I have one user who frequently has the following error at logoff:

Title - dwwin.exe initialization failed
Text - The application failed to initialize becauese the windows station is
shutting down.

If have looked around on the web for quite some time but don't seem to find
anything other than the fact that this is a windows error reporting/drwatson
issue. I have not found any good solutions.

As mentioned this occurs frequently but not at every logoff.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

What Error Reports appear in Event Viewer?

Please check Event Viewer for Warning / Error Reports in the System and
Application logs for the time of the error and post copies. You can always
cause an error to occur and note the time and then inspect the logs.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools, and
Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information
regarding Event ID, Source and Description are important.

Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you should
double click for further information. You can copy using copy and paste.
Often the link will, however, say there is no further information.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and click
on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button
resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event Viewer. Now
start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of the message. This
will paste the info from the Event Viewer Error Report complete with links
into the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from Event
Viewer.

Hope this helps.
