Yup, in my case it had been "dxhelp" or "dxinfo", that I'd been running to see what windows programs should think I had installed (as Total Annihilation had been complaining that the versions on the CD would be more up to date or something). But it took me something like 6 hours or more to notice these were still running! > > I'd be suprised if many newbies could work that out. It took > > me most of the day.

Hmm, that *sounds* like irony as in "It's already in the docs". Well if it is, I couldn't see it. And I'm sure I didn't see it in the FAQ. Or in that "Bugs" section of the docs, which'd be a useful place to put it. Other than that, hell, I don't know. But it happened to me, I'm sure it'll happen to others, and I had no clue that it would be something to watch out for.
