Max is closed, process remains.

I'm noticing the 3DS Max process (3dsmax.exe *32) is not ending when Max itself has be closed. This is happening at home and work, on two separate versions. Any idea what could be causing this?

not sure if this purely about 3dsmax as it happens occasioally with firefox and zbrush for me. i am running xp .

Yeah some guy at the AREA forum was asking the same question. Adam, you can try to find this little app called KillMax (if I'm not mistaken) to...well, to kill Max.

Is this a new thing that started happening recently? I think it might have something to do with a windows .net update that shipped sometime last week.

If i want to kill max instantly, I just do

CTRL + Shift + Esc, then set Memory (WIn 7) to put the higher users at the top.

So then Max is usually at the top or towards, then u just click on it and hit the DELETE key and ENTER it's gone.

This is possible.

I'm having all sorts of processes remain running. UDK, Max, Firefox, Chrome, etc. Very frustrating, considering I open and close programs like crazy.

Max allways does this for me. oddly You may find it boots faster when you re open it. It starts up really fast for me if that process is there.
