Windows 98 hangs on shutdown "DDE Server Window"
Hello!
First at all I have a problem that my right clicking on some .exe files only works sluggish and think maybe because of a corrupt file. Anyway,yesterday I had the problem that my Windows 98 couldn't shutdown because I got this message: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------Â*- -------------------------------------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- When I hit the "End Task" Button the task didn't end. And in the title of the dialog it says "DDE Server Window" ? I thought maybe both problems are because of a corrupt file or registry setting ,but don't know. Does anyone please know how to solve this? |
