How to fix the exit problem I'm encountering? Help!

Post by Pararox »

It's weird, dear moderaters...

I exit XnView but in the process of windows task manager, it still running a xnview.exe process to eat my memories.

The weirdest thing is if I reopen a xnview window and exit, the process simply added one more same .exe!

I totally doubt to use XnView if the problem cannot be solved.

My version is 1.90.2 standard.

Thanks for your attention

No...
I think that you have a clean .ini? Do you have used before 1.82.4?

Instances…

:) Hello !

• Did you tick the box Options >> General >> [x] Only one instance ?
- Then, when you close the active instance, kill the unwanted process from the Win tasks manager…

• I saw a similar issue recently with Total Commander F. M.… IIRC, it was caused by a third-party programme…
- I'll try to find out it.

:mrgreen: Kind regards,

Yes, I ticked that one, any bad?

Well I never used any other earlier versions.

Tried to delete the .ini file in applications folder but still won't help.

desperated here and deleted the xnviewer and change to faststone image viewer.

Malware ?

Post by Clo »

:) Sad, because here I have XnView and several versions installed, I never saw such an issue !

• I'm using¦helping the soft for a decade or so, and always the issues have been fixed up, sooner or later !

• That you tell looks like some fake unwanted crap in disguise of a <xnview.exe>…
- The most times, such malwares are set as “Hidden”, you might check this displaying all files in Win, then perform a Search…
and¦or start a general scanning with a good anti-virus.
