Windows 98 hangs before shut down "DDE Server Window"


winxpi

Recommended Posts

Before I can shutdown or reboot my Windows 98 I get

this fu*king "Wait-End Task-Cancel" dialog which hangs my system.

What I noticed is that the title of the windows is called "DDE Server Window".

Can somebody help me to find the answer to this problem,please?

Is there any software that you rescently installed? sounds like there is a process running that can't close properly

Yes, the Dsclient.exe update.

I made some research and found out that this "DDE Server Window" message maybe comes from ole32.dll.

If it has to do with this file maybe I just have a corrupt file.

It looks similiar like this:

DDE Server Window

This program is not responding. It may be busy, waiting for a response from

you or it may have stopped running

· click Cancel to ignore and return to windows

· to close the program immediately, click End Task.. You will loose any

unsaved information in this program

· to give the programe 20 seconds to finish what it is doing click Wait and

then try to close the program

Wait End Task

Cancel
