for a while now my computer's not been disposing/flushing processes and it's causing it to freeze once in a while.. i'm not talking about services and background processes either, i'm talking about programs (ie. Avant Browser, Winword when i'm in outlook, ATIMMC.exe when i'm watching TV/playing PS2 on my computer)..
when i run a program and close it, the process should be gone, but sometimes it's not.. i would say run ATIMMC.exe, i'd watch tv, then close the program, i check my processes about an hour later and the process is STILL THERE..
is there anyway to fix this? I'm not going to format or do anything major, it's not a MAJOR problem.. it's just if i run programs and it doesn't open, I check my processes and find un-closed processes and remove them, and the program i try to run will open..
gets annoying but it's nothing to go nuts about.. but a solution would help... any ideas?
