#664 Shutdown Problem with Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2

[Anonymous]

Hi
I recently downloaded Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2 on my pc running on win98. The only problem is that whenever I run Dev-C++ , the system hangs at shutdown. Further, I downloaded and installed 47569us.exe, dcom98.exe and several other patches provided on the Microsoft Windows website.

However, the problem remain the same. On further investigation, I found that the process 'Devcpp.exe' keeps running even after closing the main program. So, whenever the user wants to shutdown the system immediately after running Dev-C++, the system usually hangs. When, I killed this process using 'End_Task' by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del, the system shutdown without any problem.

I had the same issue on my old Win98 machine with Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2. No matter what patches I installed, the system would freeze at shutdown because devcpp.exe kept running in the background. I found that manually ending the process via Ctrl+Alt+Del before shutting down solved the problem.

Reminds me of the time I was working on a web design Perth project and had to use an older system for compatibility testing—same issue, had to kill lingering processes manually. Seems like a common problem with certain applications on Win98.
