splat dwwin.exe annoyance

I have checked everywhere on the www and no one seems to know what to do about the following problem. Every time I shut down my pc, the following popup message appears for only a few seconds and the shutdown proceeds as usual though slightly slower than before:

dwwin.exe - dll initialization failed : The application failed to initialize because the window station is shutting down.

This problem just started all of a sudden and seemingly out of the blue. As I said I've checked around and this seems to be a common problem connected with dr. watson but nobody has the answer on how to correct it- even microsoft techs. Any suggestions?

Have you scanned with anti-spyware and anti-virus programs?

Try running www.ccleaner.com and letting it clean out your system. Also run the registry cleaner in it.

You start the registry system (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-SOFTWARE-Microsoft-Windows-CurrentVersion-Run), there are no "Dwwin.exe" This process is «
If not, please use the registry as soon as possible repair.
