Two java.exe processes running in the Task Manager in Windows XP

I tried to find the best possible place to post this and after spending about 20 minutes searching for an appropriate forum starting from java.com I ended up here. So forgive me if the is a wrong place and if there?s a more appropriate place for my question, please provide a pointer to it.
I don't know much about java and what it does but as the title says when I open the Task manager there are two java.exe processes running at the same time with about 20 000 k each.
One of the processes is coming from:
C:\Program Files\Alias\Maya6.5\docs\jre\bin\java.exe
and the other from:
C:\Program Files\Alias\Maya7.0\docs\jre\bin\java.exe
in addition to that a jusched.exe process is also running coming from
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_10\bin\jusched.exe
I rarely open the Maya 6.5 and 7 documentations but the two java.exe process are running all the time and I would like to stop them running when I don?t need them but I don?t know how.
I can't end these processes from the Task Manager; they reappear immediately after I end them.
Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Firefox window is not shown and not even in the tasks bar, but there is a process running in the task manager

Clicked on the Firefox icon , but window did not appeared, checked in the Task manager, there is a process running with firefox.exe, and could not see any icon in the task bar adjacent to start button

I discovered that when the "Firefox is already running . . . ." message pops up I can fix it by doing the following [note: I get the same message for the Thunderbird e-mail program too] : 1. I open 'TASK MANAGER" and click on the "Processes" tab. 2. Next I scroll down until I see Firefox.exe *32 in the leftmost column (or Thunderbird. exe *32 if the message came up there), highlight that line by clicking on it and then click on the "end process" button on the right side on the bottom. 4. A pop-up window will come up but ignore its message and click on the "end process" button in the pop-up window. The program should then start the next time you click on the icon..
While that saves the need to restart your PC to fix the problem, I have yet to find any information as to the reasons for those two processes to show up in the first place. I'm running the 64 bit Win 7 Professional and do not know if that has something to do with those two processes running from time to time or not. The message comes up often but not all the time and I haven't been able to pinpoint any action on my part where the message comes up if I do '''X '''or the message never comes up when I do '''Y''' before closing Firefox or Thunderbird.

Removed working Firefox 7, Installed Firefox 10.0, Firefox will not load. When I click on icon, firefox.exe process shows briefly in task manager, then goes away....no errors, nothing

Removed working Firefox 7, Installed Firefox 10.0, Firefox will not load. When I click on icon, firefox.exe process shows briefly in task manager, then goes away....no errors, nothing. Never see browser panel at all. Also tried to install Firefox 9.0, but the same result was observed.

Rather difficult to say what the problem may be at present but for general info please have a look at
* [[safe mode]]
*[[firefox will not start]]
*[[firefox hangs]]
Note sometimes you may have to wait a while for firefox to shutdown completly, and if it has hung then as explained in the above articles you may need to kill any firefox.exe process that is still running (and maybe plugincontainer.exe)
Try starting firefox in [[safe mode]] e.g. by holding down shift key
* do not make any changes in the first window, just click on continue<br/> ? Do you get as far as seeing the options window for safe mode ?
If firefox is crashing see [[firefox crashes]], this is easier to work through if you can get firefox to start without crashing on startup. Currently some firefox users are finding Firefox 10 crashes on startup, and a new version Firefox 10.0.1 is being released very soon to deal with this and another cause of hangs.
Not saying any of this applies to your case but recent issues include
* ask tool bar causing hangs if video is used none English versions [/forums/contributors/708073]
* possibly some crashes do not start the crash reporter and other issues [/forums/contributors/708122?page=2#post-45059]
* some general info about current crashes [/questions/917748#answer-308124]

Why are there 26 firefox.exe processes running when the taskbar shows none?

Win 7 professional, Firefox 25.0.1. If I shut down Firefox and restart it I often get an error that a copy is already running. Checking the Task Manager shows many firefox.exe processes (26 this morning) even though the application tab shows none.

Hello Axis,
Can you please confirm if this happens each time you are using Firefox? Also, the cache size wouldn't have a big bearing on this issue happening. Can you please try if this issue happens when you are running Firefox in safe-mode (instructions below). if it doesn't then we can narrow the issue to a plugin / addon.
<hr>
Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

Firefox will not open, it is not running in the task manager, but when I click on the icon, it will not open a firefox screen.

I have tried uninstalling the program, so that i could re-install it, but during the uninstall it says i have to close the currently open firefox page, But there is no page opne. There is no page in the lower left corer of my screen, and when i opne task manger, it does not say that firefox is running. I have tried updateing firefox on the website, but during the update it says the same thing, that firefox is running, and i need to close it. I can not get firefox to opne, and i hate using internet explorer, PLEASE HELP!!

In the Task Manager, make sure to check both the Applications tab and the Processes tab. On the Processes tab, Firefox may have two different components running: firefox.exe and plugin-container.exe. Well, in 3.5.11, it would be only the first one.

When I start Firefox for the first time, 1 Firefox.exe shows up in the Task Manager (8,180K), but Firefox doesn't start. When I click on it again, a second Firefox.exe shows in the Task Manager, and Firefox opens. Is the first one a Trojan?

I'm using version 3.6.12 on Windows XP. The icon points to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe. The Properties of that file look okay.

No, most likely not. I reckon you got some antivirus software on your machine, don't you?
Sometimes Firefox does load into memory but won't show your start page.
Simply open the task manager, click on the "Processes" tab and kill the (two or more) firefox.exe processes you've just created. Double-click your Firefox icon and everything should be back to normal.

Java.exe keeps its memory in Task Manager

Dear All,
I am running EAServer 6.3.1 which uses JAVA.EXE to run its setup.
1) My machine is windows 2008 EE 32 bit.
2) I have 4 GB Ram on this machine.
3) Java.exe memory settings are set to 2048 GB
When i run EAServer 6.3.1 my java.exe memory increases to 98% and my application get crashed.
i set my Java.exe to 3 GB by puting LARGEADDRESSAWARE switch and increased its memory to 3 GB. Now after increasing the memory of Java.exe to 3 Gb the problem remains same and my application get crashed on same 98%.
What i noticed is JAVA.EXE is taking my system Virtual Memory and not the physical memory in starti and keep using VM. When i connected users with my application. different Java instances develop in Task Manager and when i DISCONNECT them the JAVA.EXE memory do not decreases it remains constant to 98% (please also note that total users connected are 225).
Can you please help me in this regards.
Special Thanks
Regards
Adeel Imtiaz

Java is running in your virtual memory probably because you have something loaded in your physical memory that is blocking it's allocation of resources. DB's are usually memory pigs and may be reserving the space you want to use for Java.
You have Java set to take 2 TB of your RAM, which you do not have or is that a typo.
If you are trying to say you have a memory leak, then you'll have to check your program and see what's going on and EAServer bug pages to see if you are encountering a known problem.
In any case--what you have posted, does not make any sense and anyone wishing to help you will be guessing until you can narrow your question down to something other than what essentially is this:
"What have I got in my pocket?"

Firefox won't open, but the process stays in the task manager until I end it

I've tried everything that has been proposed before by you guys and I'm hoping you've found a solution by now. I've tried re installing, allowing Firefox through my firewall, and running it as administrator. I still double click on the icon and nothing happens other than the process showing up in the task manager.

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back soon!
Hope this helps!

Catch the process terminate from the task manager

Is there a way to catch the event of terminating the application from the the
processes tab in task manager?
I have created desktop app, and if a user termintates the app in the task
manager, I'd like to be notified. I tried windowclosing in windowlistner, but nothing seems to be
working for an improper shutdown of application.
Thanks in advance

Have you tried adding a shutdown hook? There alot of subtleties to a shutdown hook. You can read the documentation for
Runtime.addShutdownHook(Thread hook)

Firefox won't start. The program is running in the task manager processes, but the application won't open. I have restarted the computer, uninstalled and reinstalled, now I am lost!!!

I have a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop running Windows Vista Home edition. Firefox was working properly just as it has for years. All of a sudden when you click on the icon, nothing appears. I open task manager, no applications show. I go to processes, there is firefox32. I kill the process and start over...endless loop. I shut the computer down and restarted. Same issue. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled, same issue. I idon't know what else to try.

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Firefox 4.0 will not open at all. It shows that the process is running in the task manager but will not open the window even after closing the prcess and restarting.

I have had firefox since an earlier 2. version and have been able to upgrade as normal. After the installation is done it will not open at all. I have restarted and even uninstalled all previous version .exe and still nothing. I am using windows 7 OS. I am still running 3.6.8 and would love to see the new one running on my laptop.

hello, this crash is caused by Websense Endpoint security software that is running on the system. please try to install all the updates for this program that are available...

Iexplore.exe and iexplore.exe*32 running together in Task Manager

Hello everyone,
I have a Windows 7 64bit client and when I kick off IE10 I noticed in Task Manager that both iexplore.exe and iexplore.exe*32 are running at the same time; now I thought that it was add-on or add-ons but after I disabling all of them I still get
the same thing. Could it be a Local Policy in place or maybe an advance setting that I am missing? Not sure where to look now.

Not sure where to look now.
That's normal. The 64-bit process is called a "chrome task" and the 32-bit processes are called "tab tasks". You can use WMIC to check them:
wmic.exe Process where Name="iexplore.exe" Get CommandLine, ProcessId
you will notice that they are correlated by SCODEF: being equal to the chrome task's PID.

Firefox will not launch - when i double-click the icon it does nothing. But when I go to the task manager in Windows it shows that Firefox is an active process.

**Running Windows Vista 6.0 SP1 with Firefox 6.0.2

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions 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.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

ITunes is 'running' (says the task manager) but it never shows up...

i have downloaded the latest version of itunes,
set up my firewall to except it,
done all those other things with deleting a file,
changed other settings that help topics have told me to do...
and it still won't open....like the title says, task manager has it as a process, but itunes is not physically open...
this has been going on for about a month now...
and i'm really getting annoyed with it.

First I'd say reboot, wait for your computer to fully boot, minimize everything, then open iTunes and watch for the license agreement. I know that for me it doesn't display in the task bar and sometimes after updates I forget that it's behind my firefox window and wonder why the heck iTunes won't start.
I'd also double check the entry in your taskmanager to ensure that it really is iTunes and not the iTunes helper that auto-loads. I would recomend using http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/processesandthreads/processexplore r.mspx rather than the default windows taskmanager as it is much more robust.

When I try to launch firefox it won't open a window. It shows that it is running in the task manager but I can't see it open on the desk top. I am trying to run 10 on windows xp. Any ideas?

This started when I tried to update firefox. Have unistalled and reinstalled and cleared the registry but nothing is working.

The "System Tray" is located at the very bottom right of your screen and is a list of most/all running applications that will show in this list.
For your SysFader issue, this "may" be the problem:
1 Find the "My Computer" desktop icon and right-click it. A pull-down menu will appear. Select "Properties."
2 Click on the "Advanced" tab. This will load a new page of options.
3 Select the "Visual Effects" tab at the top of the window and deselect "Animate Windows when minimizing and maximizing," "Fade or slide menus into view," "Fade or slide Tool Tips into view" and "Fade out Menu items after checking."
4 Click "OK." This will remove most if not all of the Sysfader effects, at the same time correcting related errors that used to come up during opening a new file or program.
