Hi Ken,
I haven't tried D2007 under Windows 7 (I'm using XE2 and it works
fine), but have you tried changing it to run in Windows XP
compatibility mode and/or tried to run as an administrator? Just a
shot in the dark, but HTH.
As far as killing things in Task Manager, I've generally found that
if a process can't be killed on the Applications tab, it can usually
be killed on the Processes tab. Apparently End Process on the
Processes tab is more ruthless than End Task on the Applications tab.

I have been busy on other non-software projects and haven't used Delphi for
several months (whereas I used to use it all day every day!), so my Windows
7 PC will have changed a bit since it was last used.
Today I tried to compile a simple program and after I ran it, I could not
close Delphi.
Checking Task manager showed that both bds.exe and my application were still
running, but neither could be "kill"-ed.
Rebooted PC and started again.
Managed to do a few small jobs, then started to write a new program.
I tried to run it (with nothing more than 1 action to open a text file and
add it to a memo), closed the application then closed BDS. When I tried to
open BDS again, I found it was still running in the background (GExperts
complained), and so was the test program. Again, neither can be killed, and
although I can run BDS, I can't overwrite the exe I'm developing, so
development is going to be very slow with a lot of rebooting!
Has anyone seen anything like this before?
Any ideas what might be preventing the app from closing (I presume it is
because the app won't close that BDS can't close).
I've tried a lot of googling, but if the answer is out there, I'm not
thinking of the right keywords to search for!
Thanks for any help you can give.
Regards,
Ken
