Windows XP processes don’t shut down all the way.

by adam . Updated 17 years, 7 months ago

No matter what application it is… from Word to Firefox to PhotoShop. XP refuses to shut the application down all the way.

The app closes and it disappears off of my start menu…. but the process is still active.

This is particularly annoying with Firefox… since it’s got a run once feature intended to prevent intrusions.

Does anyone know a fix for this issue?

I do run Norton 360… but I don’t think that’s the reason for this issue.

Best,
