Please log in for more thread options The problem is that some applications (notably Corel Paint Shop Pro X2) will
not restart while the other "version" is in memory. This also happens with
other Applications, and I have seen up to 8 copies of outlook and word in
memory simultaneously, and over 20 copies of Firefox in memory. This started
to happen after some updates, it was not always there. I suspect a service is
not running properly or is disabled, but I do not know which one.
