I'm on Windows XP Pro

Whenever I shutdown the system, I get what appears to be a Dr Watson type error (I'm guessing). The message says that dwwin.exe failed because the system is shutting down. I don't have to do anything though, the error goes away without having to be closed manually, and the the system shuts down normally.

I'd like to get rid of this error even though it doesn't seem to be hurting anything. Does anyone know what could cause it or how to fix the problem.

Kill the worthless POS Dr.Watson:

START>RUN>DRWTSN32

Uncheck ALL the options in there! Also kill worthless error reporting: RIGHT CLICK MY COMPUTER>PROPERTIES>ADVANCED>ERROR REPORTING, set to disabled. Next, START>SETTINGS>CONTROL PANEL>ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS>SERVICES>ERROR REPORTING. Stop the service and change it to DISABLED.
