Problems with some applications not closing completely tasks
Can somebody explain me and help me solve the following problem.
From time to time, when I exit one or more application during my using the computer, suddenly the responsiveness of my machine slows down. When I start the task manager, in the application tab everything is as should be, but when I select the process tab, I see that processes of the ended application, eg WINWORD.EXE, are still running. I can kill these, and after that everything runs smooth again. I use PC Cilin V2003, ZoneAlarm and AD-Aware 6 to keep my machine clean and none of both antivirus/spam applications report the presence of suspicious software, neither have I any suspicious alerts from ZoneAlarm. How do processes keep running when the applications are closed and if this has an explanation, who can I solve this so when an application closes, all tasks are also closed. I run Windows XP Pro with for instance Office XP on an AMD Athlon 1.44 Ghz machine with 768 MB ram. All the applications mentioned here are updated to there most recent upgrade. Thanks for any help, Henri |
