Processes do not close

When I close a program the coressponding process in the tasl manager does not
close. So If I re open the program I will have two of the same process open.
For example I will outlook.exe process open multiple times eventhough I have
outlook closed.

Do you have any other examples, other than Outlook?

Yes, excel acrobat and quickbooks. Those are the programs I use the most.

I have the same problem. It also happens with Excel, Word, WordPerfect. For
example, if I close a document I am working on, I cannot open it again
because it's "being used by another user". I have to go into Task Manager
and end process. My computer runs very slow by the end of the day, and I
just added RAM giving me 3G of RAM.

The same thing is happening to me. Some of the applications the show this
behavior: Outlook, Vegas Pro 8, CodeWright, SysInternals Process Explorer
