Difficulty shutting down Windows XP - DDE Server Window Error + Event Log Messages

Tags: End Program - DDE Server Window
I have a network of about 70+ client PC's and recently (within the last three weeks) three laptops (Dell Lattitude D620's) running Windows XP, Intel Chip and 2 GB RAM have been experiencing similar issues.  On shutdown, they all have a End Program - DDE Server Shutdown box pop-up.  Sometimes they need to push the button 5 plus times to rid the message. They are also receiving some Event Log messages around this shutdown time which I attached (not 100% certain if they are directly related but I'm pretty sure)  I have tried the following:

- Installed via MS Knowledge base article - 2005 Redristb C++ Package
- Disabling or verifing that the Network DDE Services are disabled
- Reinstalled Office 2003 (pertained to the SideBySide event log messages)
- Virus / Spyware Scans
- Windows Updates / Office Updates
- Ran CCleaner to clean out any junk

Thank you very much in advance to anyone who helps look into this issue with me that is driving me crazy!
