dwwin.exe is for Dr. Watson (MS's diagnostic program). AcroRd32.exe is Adobe Acrobat Reader. By chance do you have Gravis joystick or gamepad installed? The software for these has been known to cause these problems. You can also run RegClean from Microsoft or try Windows OneCare's online scan to check for any registry problems. Problems like this are usually caused by a software install that's messed up the registry somewhere. The above may help fix it. ---------------------------------------------- Work is for people who don't know how to surf Gateway Performance 1800 - P4 1.8gz, 512mb RAM, nVidia 5200; SB Live Value; Windows XP Professional, Photoshop CS2, Nikon D200 and D100

We've been having this problem on and off around campus. I read somewhere that it has to do with the browser add-on's for Adobe. I've disabled all of them and that stopped the problem for me. Just another option. To disable, open I.E. and choose Manage Add-Ons; disable all the acrobat entries. Am going to try your fix too :P

Just go to My Computer, Properties, Advanced, and Change the Virtual Memory setting by increasing it. It should not be more than half of the maximum value, however if you must, put it at 55%, it will fix the problem [QUOTE]Originally Posted by stlduffer: I'm getting an error that says "dwwin.exe - DLL initialization failed" almost every time I shut down my desktop or my laptop. When I ok the message, I get another error "sw: AcroRd32.exe - application error". This just started about a month ago on both pc's, and I have not added any new software recently. Any idea what could be causing these errors? [/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]Originally Posted by ragulrocks_82: many a times these kind of error messages can be a false alarm and they really do not do any harm to the comp but they jut keep on annoying you coming up again and again the best way to get them off is to clear the start up go to start run and type msconfig in the system configuration window go to the last tab that says start up and click on disble all and than apply and close it will ask u to restart the comp so do that and i am sure that the next time u restart the comp or shut it down u will not receive that error message i hope it helps and let me know what happened [emote|(N)] [/QUOTE] Hey there I'm hoping you can help me on same issue. I called into Dell and they had me disable everything at start up and some of the services (including Norton!!). The things is, I want to see my audio icon, Norton status, power status and alarm manager for Palm Desktop (4 icons only). I don't see why I should have to shut them off? Isn't that kind of compensating for a problem and not fixing it? Last night I got the dwwwin.exe and adobe errors so I updated to V8. Today I am back to getting a memory referencing error on shut down. I went to the Advanced Windows Care link and ran that but I still get this darn memory referencing error on shutdown. It appears and disappears so quickly I can't get the numbers. I don't understand why I am having these issues? The laptop is 3 months old. In my last two jobs I had Compaqs and never had to disable anything on start up! I NEVER had a sneeze from either of them. Now I feel like I got a lemon with this Dell. Thoughts? Thanks for your help.

[QUOTE]Originally Posted by Just_David: Users who have Acrobat 7.0 can follow the instructions on this website... http://www.allscoop.com/tools/acrord32-exe/ This will fix both of these errors upon shutdown: dwwin.exe - DLL Initialization Failed AcroRd32.exe - Application Error Worked for me! Hope this helps! [/QUOTE] Thanks! This fixed it right away. Hope others who are having this problem have read your post. I had removed Adobe and am using Foxit, but some programs default to Adobe so it reinstalled 7 as a reader and that's when the problem started.

Can also be fixed by simply upgrading to Acrobat 8

After repeated installing and uninstalling,there are tons of useless system registry keys and corrupt registry keys left in your computer,and they will cause errors .Just like "Jedi Master " said that exe and dll errors are the well-known registry errors,to prevent your pc from these errors ,you need to run a registry cleaner on your pc usually to clean the useless registry and corrupt registry .You can try regclean from Microsoft .And the another choice is to download the registry cleaner below to free scan and repair registry errors for you . http://okregistry.com/OKRegistry_Setup.exe ---------------------------------------------- Repair your pc errors and speed up your pc performance http://www.okregistry.com

I am getting the same error; however, I do not believe that it has anything to do with Adobe because I used the "fix" that is listed in the chats and I am still getting the same error. Is there another cause for the problem?
