DWWIN.EXE During Shutdown

[Guest]

To all that are getting the DWWIN.EXE error when they shutdown there
computer; I have found at least one cause.

In my case I have an HP colorlaser jet 3500. I installed the printer and
drivers last. After installing the printer and drivers are immediately got
the DWWIN.EXE error when I shutdown My computer.

The cause is the HP Tool Box!!! If you disconnect your system from the
internet and shutdown the computer the DWWIN.EXE error will not occur.

The Tool Box stays active during shutdown; and therefore, causes the
DWWIN.EXE error.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

John

I'm expericeing the same problem, but what do you mean by "disconnect your
system from the internet"? Turn off modem? unplug the cable? close the
browser?

Dear 1ajb,

The only solution that I have found to correct the "DWWIN.EXE" at shutdown
is to upgrade your bios. However, that is not practical if your computer is
an older model. HP will not take the blame for the problem; therefore, I am
just living with the annoyance. I hope this helps.

Do some clean boot troubleshooting to identify the program causing the
problem. Then you can decide if you need to remove it or fix in some
other fashion.

I'm not sure why you're posting this to me - I'm not having the problem,
and just because it's the only solution that worked for you doesn't mean
it's the only one to work for someone else.

This is supposed to be a friendly site where people help one-and-other.
Pardon me for accidently responding to you with my message; it was my error.

Further, there has been no solution for me, but I do know what causes the
problem!

If you cannot be civil do not reply to me! I do not have time for

I saw your response to 1ajb earlier in the thread, and I posted my
suggestion to him that there were other options to troubleshoot this
issue. You then, for whatever reason, decided the next day to address
the same to me.

I was just asking a simple question - specifically why you posted it to
me - and to let 1ajb and and any others who read this thread know that
just because it's what you found doesn't mean there is no (other)
solution. I'm sorry you had a problem with the it but it wasn't
intended to be derogatory toward you, and it certainly wasn't uncivil.

It still isn't clear what all you tried and whether you tried clean boot
troubleshooting.
