applications don't fully quit in my computer. they still run in the background. say, i played counter-strike then i quit playing the game, you wont see counter strike in the applications tab of the task manager but you'll see it running in the processes tab. this bothers me because i have to end these "suppose-to-be-quitted" applications in the task manager in order for me to free the pc resources and run other applications.
what could be the problem? is it a virus? or is it the windows? i scanned the system already, and no virus was found. i also have the same problem in two other computers with different hardware specifications.
i tried to reinstall the windows, but it's still the same. below are the specifications of my main computer.
intel PIV 2.4
asus mothrboard
nvidia gforceFX5200 128mb
512 rAM
80Gig
windows xp sp1 with all the patches available
please help.
thank you!
