A box always appears saying DDE SERVER and then stops and I must manually
close the box.

How do I get rid of the window and error so I can shutdown normally?

See Netdde here:

You have some program running that requires DDE Server that is refusing
to exit gracefully. You need to determine what that program is. Here is
a link to an excellent shutdown troubleshooter, as well as links to
help you with clean-boot troubleshooting:
