When using FB2k 0.8.1 release, under WindowsXP SP1, closing foobar only closes the main window. The executeable remains in the process list, consuming resources. This behavior occurs when using File / Close, Alt+F4, the close button in the upper right, and when using StrokeIt to send WM_CLOSE to the application.

Any chance you have foo_audioscrobbler or any of the recent alphas of foo_ui_columns installed? If so try removing them and see if the problem persists.

I am almost sure it won't.

Nope, neither of those. I have

foo_diskwriter.dll
foo_dsp_extra.dll
foo_input_std.dll
foo_masstag.dll
foo_output_std.dll
foo_read_http.dll
foo_recycle.dll
foo_rgscan.dll
foo_ui_std.dll
foo_vis_bacon.dll
foo_vis_manager.dll

Sorry I forgot to include that in my initial post. I knew I was forgetting something.

What version of foo_vis_bacon do you have installed? Old versions had a bug where they'd deadlock if you tried to close foobar while you had a Winamp visualization going, but I was pretty sure I'd fixed that in the latest version.

Yeah, that was one of the buggy ones. Take a look at this post to get a fixed version.

Stellar. Thanks for the help.

Sorry for the slow reply. Work / home life has been eating my soul. ;-)

I have this problem too, minus the vis_bacon though.

I've become acquainted well with

good old taskkill /f

i've had same problem but it was foo_vis_samurize2 or what's the name. new version of samurize uses foo_info_samurize, so it wasn't needed anyway.

may be your case, give it a try
