Hidden Instance of EXCEL.EXE will not close

CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
Does anyone else experience this? I experience it in both Xcelsius 4.5 and 2008
When you first start working with an Excel model in your dashboard project, you can see a new process of EXCEL.EXE in your Windows Task Manager.
After I close Xcelsius, the EXCEL.EXE process does not close.
When I shut down my PC at the end of day, I get prompted by this hidden Excel to save a whole bunch of files name im0.xls, im1.xls, im2.xls, im3.xls (file names are a bit different in 2008 version). I assume the "im" stands for Infommersion, who owned Xcelsius before BusObj did.

AcroRD32.exe will not close

After opening up an Acrobat file to read, when closing the associated AcroRD32.exe process fails to properly close. This subsequently prevents me from being able to open another PDF without first going in to TaskManager and killing AcroRD32.exe process.

Hi Ken ,
Please refer to the following and see if this fixes the issue .

Itunes library will not close down all the way

My iTunes library will not close down all the way. When I close the library I am unable to log back in or turn my computer off because itunes is still running although I x'd it out.

You're right, you shouldn't have to do that.
Well, you didn't say whether you've tried uninstalling & reinstalling itunes. Make sure it's installed with an admin user account. Then go into the WIndows Event Viewer and see if there are any error messages about any of the itunes processes in the installation package. That could give us a clue of what's going wrong.
Another thing that could be causing the problem is the "apple push" part of itunes, APSDaemon.exe. Read wiclee's post here about it.

The program will not close properly unless I turn off the computer.

The program will not close properly. If I close it and then try to restart it I get a message saying that Firefox is already running.

Even under normal circumstances it takes a few seconds after exiting Firefox before you can launch Firefox again successfully.
But you're right, sometimes a zombie Firefox process lives on, consuming CPU cycles and memory long after all the user interface for it has disappeared. The zombie Firefox process blocks the launch of new ones. It's annoying, but there is a lighter-weight work-around than rebooting. If you key Del while holding down Ctrl and Alt (the old three-finger DOS reboot), either the Windows Task manager will pop up immediately or you can select it from a list of options. In the Windows Task Manager's Processes tab, you should be able to find "firefox.exe" in the Image Name column. (Left-clicking the Image Name column will sort the names alphabetically, and then you can scroll up or down looking for "f".) Left-click on that "firefox.exe" and then left-click the "End Process" box. A warning box should then pop up, asking if you're really sure you want to terminate the process. Answer Yes. Then wait a few seconds for disk activity to die down. Then re-launch Firefox as you would normally.

Adobe 10.1.7 will not close in task manager after you exit the program. High cpu

Hello,
Updated to 10.1.7 and noticed that when you close the program an instance of acrobat stays open in task manager with high 50%+ cpu usage. Will not close at all unless you end task. if you open adobe again a new instance opens again consuming more cpu and cripples the machine with high cpu. This is on win 8 64bit machine. Had the previous release 10.1.6 working for some time on the same machine with no issues.
Thank you in advance

Identical issue with Acrobat XI Pro on Windows 8 Pro 64 bit. After viewing PDF file, upon closing Acrobat, a new Background Process starts called Adobe Acrobat (32 bit) uses 18% of cpu. I have left run for three to four hours and does not close. If I open another PDF file and then close, a second Background Process of Adobe Acrobat (32 bit) start, also using 18% of cpu. I was able to open a third PDF file and upon closing a third Background Process of Adobe Acrobat (32 bit) start, also using 18% of cpu. I did not try more. All three consume over 50% of processor and after an hour does not close. Fan and cpu begin to run hot so I manual End Task. I tried Repair Acrobat Installation command, did not fix. After searching forum used the Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool (http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html) to uninstall. Then downloaded Acrobat XI Pro from My Adobe account login. Reinstalled software. Issue gone, could not replicate even after several hours of trying. Then Checked for Updates. After updates installed, loaded and brought to version 11.0.3, problem returned as before. I have PDF files on both local drive and NAS, been able to recreate issue on both. In a PDF intensive environment, I was having to leave the task manager up and occasionally stop Background Process of Adobe Acrobat (32 bit) so as to keep processor usage and fan speed down, thanks to Goateye01 for the suggestion, I now leave Acrobat open and close the files, this way the background process hang does not occur. Additional Note, only able to create issue with standalone application, issue does not occur when in IE10 and viewing PDF files. Hopefully a fix or helpful guidance coming soon?

Roboformtaskbaricon process will not close after firefox 9 is shut down

Hello,
The roboformtaskbaricon.exe (v754) process will not close after firefox 901 is shut down. Although I could be wrong, my guess is that firefox is pushing this process out of firefox, forcing it to run on its own. If it's a roboform issue, then I will contact them.
Thank you, bheart

On the page below, scroll down to "RoboForm Controls", then scroll down to '''''4. Taskbar Icon''''' under that heading. It sounds as though this may be the item to which you are referring. From the name of the file '''''roboform<u>taskbaricon</u>.exe''''', it implies the Windows Task Bar rather than the Firefox toolbar.

For clarification of '''''roboformtaskbaricon.exe''''', its function and whether it should shut down when exiting Firefox, contact Roboform Online Support and leave full details of your question:

Mail won't display the viewer window, and it will not close (force quit does not show in menu bar). Can't shut down to reboot because the open mail program prevents it. Any advice?

Mail does not show the viewer window even when new viewer window is cliced. I tried to close mail and reopen, but it will not close, and force quit option does not appear in window bar. I tried to shut down the computer and reboot, but it cannot close because of open mail program it says. Help!

Many thanks. Once I was able to close mail, it reopened and behaved quite normally. Thank you. I'll remember the option quit for force quite!

The first tab will not close, and often does not load all of a page.

When I open firefox, the first tab always has 'search bookmarks and history' in the address bar, instead of the url of my homepage, and it will not close.

While trying to figure out a solution, I removed my themes and I closed the tabs I could, then clicked on the new tab button, doing so changed my original tab into an (Untitled) tab and created a new (Untitled) tab. I then found I couldn't close either tab, I clicked on new tab again, got a third (Untitled) tab, which again I couldn't close. I then closed Firefox choosing not to save. This appears to have fixed the problem; however I do not know which of the above action(s) resolved it.

My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work. Once another app is opened, it will not close either. Now none of the apps are responding. Any ideas?

My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work. Once another app is opened, it will not close either. Now none of the apps on the dock are responding. I asked him to click on the apple, and drop down to "About this Mac", but that wouldn't open either. Any ideas? If I was at his house, I would call Apple Care in a heartbeat, but am home with my sick daughter,,, Thanks!

For starters, have him open Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, select the volume (the indented listing) and Verify Disk. If it reports any problems, have him try a Safe Boot by holding the Shift key at startup. This boot will take much longer than usual. It's checking and trying to repair the drive directory, if possible. Once in Safe Boot, have him repair Permissions.
For other Disk repair remedies see
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
Also, have him try a PRAM Reset. At the startup chime, hold down CMD-Option-P-R together, listen for two more chimes, total three, then let go to finish booting.
Also, is he running any AV? If so, have him uninstall it. It might be responsible for this behavior. (There are no viruses for OS X.)

Facetime window will not close. (iPhone 6 iOS 8.1.3)

Recently and quite frequently, after a FaceTime call has ended the window will not close out to the normal FaceTime call history screen. Even when I double tap the home button to close out apps, the FaceTime window, still showing my live face and "call with whomever as ended or ending" (it switches between ended and ending when clicking back on the window) will not swipe closed; it just moves up and right back down. I can't even swipe it closed during a live FaceTime as I could before. The only way I've been able to close out the FaceTime app is to power down the phone then turn it back on.
Anyone else experience this? Any suggestions?

Hello nelly_eastside,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your FaceTime application is not fully closing after a call. In this situation, I would recommend forcing the application to close and then resetting your iPhone. To complete these steps, please follow the instructions in the attached articles. Please let me know if the issue continues.

Excel 2011 Will Not Link to MacMail in Mountian Lion From a Hyperlinked Cell

Unlike Excel 2004, my shiny new Excel 2011 will not link to MacMail in Mountian Lion from a hyperlinked cell email address entry. When I click on the button "Launch E-mail Application" I get the message, "An error occurred trying to find or launch your email program".
When I click on the cell with the link I get the message. "Office cannot open the URL you specified. Make sure you have a web browser installed and that it is configured correctly".
Does anyone have knowledge how to fix this up? Thanx. :-)

Best to take your question to the MS Office 2011 for Mac Excel forum - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macexcel?tm=1358848436805. I've no problems using Outlook...

"Creating Adobe PDF" task will not close H E L P

"Creating Adobe PDF" task will not close after I print a .pdf document. I am running Windows XP Professional with Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional v 8.1.2. It doesn't matter what application I print from, this window stays open in the background. I have to minimize the window in the windows task bar, then restore the window, then click hide on the window to get it to close.
Please help me, I have searched for a solution, but nothing seems to be out there. I can't be the only one having this problem.

Has anyone had any luck resolving this issue? I had the problem for a long time and then it went away, I believe after I reinstalled Adobe because the updater had stopped working. Recently the issue began again, primarily with printing to PDF from Explorer. It seemed to start after a recent Microsoft update, so I am wondering if that was the culprit, though even if it is I have no idea how to correct it. When I can catch the "hide" button on the dialogue when it first launches the "creating adobe pdf" task, it sometimes closes itself. I have also noticed that it seems to re-appear on every OTHER print to PDF. I am running Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, Version 8.2.5 on Windows XP Professional and Internet Explorer 7. Anyone? Help?

I opened a PDFs file that was attached to an email message and now it will not close when I press "Done" as it usually does. Does anyone have a solution to suggest? Thanks.

Try double clicking your home button then force close the stuck PDF by swiping upward. Once you've done that just click the home button again to exit.
