I noticed when Live crashes or get unexpectadly shoot down, the EXE file remailns in RAM for another 5 min. or so until it releases memory and allows to restart thwe program. This drives me nuts, because when I try to troubleshoot my VST plugins or other stuff it takes aproximately 506 min. to be able to restart the program and sometimes it might be faster to restart the whole PC. Does anybody know any procedure or some utlility to kill remaining program in the RAM ?
PS>
I use WinXP/SP3 + Live 7.0.18

I notice that too, it's weird (Live 8.2.2 on Win XP, but it's done it for some time.) According to task manager 300 MB of Live 8.2.2.exe is still rattling around there but it eventually goes away.aklisiewicz wrote:I noticed when Live crashes or get unexpectadly shoot down, the EXE file remailns in RAM for another 5 min. or so until it releases memory and allows to restart thwe program.

This is annoying when I want to shut my system down after a day of work and it puts up a window warning that a task is still running.
Never lost any work due to this problem but it's irritating.
Live 9.1 <> occasionally Reason 4.0.1 <> Reaper.latest! <> Windows 7 on a bespoke Intel Q6600 <> ASUS P5E <> 8GB RAM, M-Audio Delta 2496 and that's it.

did you try "logging off" then logging back in to windows ?
(faster than a reboot)

Wasn't this down to connected USB devices? If I remember rightly some folk found that by simply pulling out the USB lead to the soundcard and/or midi interface caused the .exe to stop.aklisiewicz wrote:Does anybody know any procedure or some utlility to kill remaining program in the RAM ?

I get this, and a total pain in the butt.
Maybe 15% of the time, the USB thing will work, but mostly I just wait it out and/or restart. Not a lot you can do.
I've sent a bunch of crash reports from bugs that led to this, for what it's worth.
Super goddamn annoying.
