Yeah, I have something like that going at the moment. I also tend to leave Process Explorer up and just kill it when it doesn't want to behave.

It's not a big deal. My only concern would be if someone thought I was somehow boxing or something by having two of the .exe's running, even though one was essentially dead, or just stalled, or whatever it's doing instead of closing, and I forgot to kill it manually.

Naw....now if you really want to know, open resource monitor, network and see if you have active connections to the P99 servers after you 'completely logged out'

That's a good idea. Jebus, why didn't I think of that before?

Blah....been in the IT industry for 18 years. I forget stupid stuff all the time.

i know this is an old thread but.... anyone know a fix to this? been having this problem constantly for the past year +. Not sure why eqgame.exe lingers in the process list 'running' when the game has been closed.

Does running this game in Windows XP compatibility mode (or other Windows OS compatibility modes) provide any benefit?

It can prevent from client crashes during logouts has it happened to me.
