Blue Box doesn't shut down on Win XP - HELP! HAve to shut down using Task Manager???

Is it really true that you must shut the Blue Box down using Task Manager on Windows XP operating system???
On Win 98/NT/2000 the you can shut the Blue Box down by double clicking the Blue Box and shut it down. When I check the Task Manager it really is shut down.
However, on Windows XP when I shut the Blue Box down in the same manner - it still resides in the Task manager. If I try to start the Blue Box again after shutting it down a popup window is displayed stating there is already an instance of Blue Box running.
Any help would be appreciated - we cannot open the Task Manager and terminate the NIFB.exe in our application.
THANX!

It is a bug of NI-FBUS 2.3.6 version, please send e-mail to "[email protected]" for further information.
The next NI-FBUS 3.0 version would solve this problem as I know.

Why does firefox freeze and then doesn't fully release from memory, but I have to End Process from Task Manager?

Frequently, Firefox for Windows (Vista) freezes up. I click on a link or try to go to another web page and nothing happens. The icon in the tab is just spinning, with Connecting. but it never connects. Then when I close it - if it lets me. I click to open it again and a window pops up saying that Firefox is already running, to please close it before launching it again. I have to go to Task Manager and End task from the Processes tab. It is also a resource hog including the Plug-In Container.

The pluging container opens up unnecessary copies as the cookies/history are cleared, this is a known issue, it might be what you are seeing, and it is hoped to be fixed in some future release of firerox.
There are some hangs affecting some users, with symptoms being high cpu usage, occurring as bookmark changes or syncing is in progress, there is a work around for that.
Firefox hanging as you close it see:

Firefox does not close/exit and must be shut down using task manager

When I "x" out of Firefox, or File menu "exit" or right click to "close," the Firefox window closes but whenever I attempt to restart Firefox, it says that it is already running (hence was never shut down) and I have to use Task Manager to "end process" before re-starting Firefox again. This dilemma only started after upgrading about 6 months ago (can't remember the version). I recently upgraded again but the problem still exists.

Did not address my issue. Firefox isn't freezing while it's up and running, it just doesn't completely shut down... therefore it's always running behind the scenes.

Lightroom 4.2 Win 7 64-bit -have to kill process in Task Manager every time or can't launch

Lightroom 4.2 Win 7 64-bit -have to kill process in Task Manager every time or can't launch Lightroom. This seems like a bug? Any suggestions?

Does sound like a bug. Consider reporting to Adobe:

In the mean time, I only have workarounds like start using a batch file.
Something is hanging it up upon exit, but I dont know what. Maybe a device or process/service? - did you try removing non-essentials? Check windows logs?

Using Win 7 64 bit. Problems w/ Firefox 3.6.6: (1) When I close it, it sometimes closes the window but does not stop operating. Yet, I cannot restart it. Only solution is to use Task Manager to shut it down, then restart it. (2) Will not open certain

Using Win 7, 64 bit. (1) Firefox fails to stop when I close window; only solution is closing it thru Task Manager. (2) Firefox does not allow me to access certain corollary items such as opening emails I receive in online Groupwise and certain videos at websites, such as demonstrations.

This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.

What is the cause of Firefox seizing up and having to use task manager to close down

When I use Firefox within 2 pages it seizes. When you try to click on anything I hear a ding with no response, even when you try to shut it down. You have to shut it down with Task manager. I have uninstalled it and reloaded but the same thing happens. When I use Explorer I have no troubles. I need Firefox as a site that I use only works with Firefox. This problem has occurred after the recent upgrade

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Win 7 x64 Itunes and Quicktime Running in Task Manager nothing seen! Help

Ok I'm running out of ideas- I' I have uninstalled multiple time various version of itunes. It upgraded to 10 automatically then a few days ago it wouldn't run. Looking in task manager itunes and intones helper are running. Thought a simple wipe and reinstall would solve it alas no. Been trying all week various reinstalls of different versions, all the same thing occurs, It appears to be a system wide fault. Disabled Bonjour enabled- no difference. Disabled all windows services aside form the apple ones - no difference. Started in safe mode- itunes refused to start. Gave up and reinstalled 7 and it worked until a reboot (and also it itunes store and ipod drivers for Win 7 x64 are not there) where the same probelm occured. Installed airport seeing if it would update the relevant dodgy files in Bonjour.
Getting sick of finding why this is happening and I can't;t find where this bug is, and I've spent far too long trailing through the web trying to solve this and not one single one has worked so far!
Please Help!!

Sorry, Itunes+Quicktime the intaller neither of them will open (they appear to be running in task manager however). Downlaoding the sperate intaller for Quicktime, the installer on its own, then quicktime runs and opens.

Will not shut down (must use Task Manager) & will not open new window

When I shutdown FF the FF window disappears, but a new FF cannot be started unless I manually end FF from Task Manager. When running I cannot "open Link in a new window" - nothing happens, but opening a link in a new tab works.
I am running FF3.6.13 on Windows XT. I ran antivirus software, so I don't think I'm infected. All other programs work fine. I deleted and reinstalled FF. I deleted FF and installed an older version. No luck.

See this: 
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20hangs#w_hang-at-exit

Sometimes I have to use Task Manager to 'end process' Firefox before I can open it (not shutting down cleanly from previous use)

Question seems self-explanatory

See "Hang at exit":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs
See "Firefox hangs when you quit it":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+hangs

Whenever I close my browser (3.6.13) using either the Exit in the file drop down or the close window icon, the window closes but FF continues to run in the background and if I need to go online again I have to first shut down FF using Task manager.

I have re-installed my browser, but the problem persists

Does turning down volume in app always have to turn down ringer?

I have missed several calls because I turn down apps and it make the ringer equally as quiet. I have the same problem on my iPad. Any fixes?

When installing Vista or Windows 7, I always advice people to remove their OS X drive so that Windows doesn't touch, tag, or know about OS X (also makes the install easier).
Not sure why, but have you booted from another hard drive and run Disk WARRIOR - or at least Apple DU and tried doing disk repair? not sure it would help. Then zap PRAM and see if that changes this at all.

I have Firefox 3.6.13 with Firefox for Yahoo 1.7 on Win XP and when I close the browser window, I can't open it again without using Task Manager to close firefox.exe any suggestions?

This started when I first set started using Yahoo Messenger. It appears to me that Yahoo messenger is keeping the application firefox.exe open in the background and this prevents the browser from opening. The only thing I can't understand is why the broser will open the first time with Yahoo Messenger running.

Firefox doesn't load webpages at random times, after closing and terminating it in task manager it works again

I just did a fresh install on my computer, and whenever I open firefox and leave it there for a while it would stop loading any web pages. When I close it and reopen FF it tells me that FF is still running and I have to use task manager to end process to reopen FF and it'd for for a while and repeat itself.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.

When I close firefox (in windows 7), it doesn't fully close, I have to go to the task manager and end process before I can open it again.

Every time I try to open firefox, a window pops up saying that another instance of firefox is already running (still open from the last time firefox was open) and that another instance can't be opened. To solve this, I have to go into task manager and end the firefox (32) process. I think this started happening after getting the newest version of firefox a couple weeks ago. My computer is a month-old thinkpad with windows 7 64 bit.

see item #32 closing firefox properly
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#close_firefox

When I close firefox it doesn't close. I go to reopen it and it says that it is already running. I have to use task manager to end process to close it before i can log back on.

After browsing and I close Firefox it appears to close.
However when I go to reopen it later I get a message that Firefox is already open and I need to close it. The only wany I can close it is by using Task Manger to end process.

Must be the "hang at exit" problem. You already know how to do Step1; now just determine which Add-on (Extension or Plugin) is causing the problem.
