"dwwin.exe" is Dr Watson which is used by the error reporting tool. Alot of security related applications will throw up warning flags about this file trying to read, write or modify a number of other .exe files. This isn't anything to worry about because it's only trying to investigate "events" that it believes is causing problems that may lead to crashing.
File can be found:
*:\windows\system32\dwwin.exe
The biggest complaint about the error reporting service is it causing alot of various applications to not load or crash during use. Quite a few of these can be fixed by downloading updates from windows update and scanning for viruses/spyware but alot of others simply won't be fixed with the currently available updates. In that case you'll want to just disable the service! After that 90% of the time the program will then run properly. - source (

Concerning initializing, Do/did you have mods installed that placed files in your modules folder as well (new areas, new planets, etc.)? If so, those files could be trying to call up a file in the override (that's no longer there). You'll need to remove those files as well. That 'might' be the problem.
May want to do a fresh install of KotOR, after updating and scanning your system (otherwise you may get the dwwin error again).
Hopefully that helps, but keep us updated :)
