I have a < 1 year old (new to me) laptop running AB 5.13 with the
Vista operating system.

Twice, when I shut down the computer things go very wrong with the
shutdown hanging and other ??? stuff.  When I re-boot AmiBroker is
very corrupted, requiring days of re-building things.  I understand AB
well enough to fix things - probably in a clumsy way, though.

I have been baffled as to why this is happening  -  but now I have a
hint - I just went to shut things down and my FireFox browser was
still running as a zombie process - not visible in the app tray or in
the Task Manager Applications tab, but visible in the Process tab. 
When I killed the process, then the shutdown proceeded.  (FireFox was
smart enough to prompt me that it was still running and wanted to know
what it should do.)

HYPOTHESIS - Maybe AB becomes a zombie and corrupts things when the OS
shuts down anyway??

Anyone out there having this problem???

PS My previous Toshiba laptop with Win XP NEVER did this.
