I have had several occassions where duplicate processes are running on the
same machine. This causes all sorts of machine problems. The duplications
are not related to a single program, or single computer. This has happened
on several machines on our network (XP Pro workstations).
The duplications are usually one of the following programs:
WINWORD.EXE (MS Word)
OUTLOOK.EXE (MS Outlook)
IEXPLORE.EXE (Internet Explorer)
In some cases, there may be 4 or 5 duplicates listed under task manager when
the parent program has been closed.
Once the process is 'killed' manually, the program will restart
successfully. Does anyone know why this happens? I can't seem to find an
explanation anywhere. Maybe it's just me!
Thanks,
Walt
