Re: dwwin.exe fails to initialize due to shutdown

Hi Robert & Allen,

Yes, I have a Macbook Pro and I'm running Windows XP Professional on it. I
am not going through Parallels, I am directly on Windows OS. So parallels
isn't really the issue, except when I was trying to get my drivers to be able
to use my internal camera yesterday yet, because of all these issues,
couldn't download the drivers from the Leopard OS disk that I need. Hence
the error reports regarding parallels.

As for your suggestion Robert, I think I'll give that a try, but I'd really
like to know what program is crashing and I'm trying to see if I can get to
the root of the issue, and not cover up dwwin issue with a "fix" to not see
it, if you know what I mean.

Any suggestions on how I can figure out what program(s) may be crashing,
would be of great help. I know that I have issues with Microsoft Outlook and
IE 7, as I get serious error and shut down messages all the time with those
two, and neither of them are running as they should, but updates don't do
anything either, so still not sure how to repair. Though I've tried running
the repair on Outlook using the disk, no difference, wish Microsoft would
just make products that we could depend on and not spend the majority of our
time on our systems, trying to figure out how to repair them, but actually
using them. Hence the switch over to Apple, but still have to take the time
to learn all new programs for that one...

Thanks guys any advice or suggestions are tremendously appreciated...
