Close Program, Process Keeps Running

    md2lgyk I can't follow the rules

    OS is XP Home SP 2. My wife purchased and installed a game from Yahoo! Games. It works fine, except that occasionally (but not always) when she closes the program, the associated Windows process keeps running. Opening the program again results in two instances of the process and a hung computer. The only fix is to use Task Manager to end the processes.

    Since this only happens with that one program, I suspect it's just poorly written. Is there some sort of process control program that will take care of this issue? Or some other fix?
