Hi

I recently got a new PC and installed processing. My pc is 64 bit windows 7 and I seem to be having a problem with the java process not ending when I close my program after running it. if i click the X in the top corner my whole processing IDE freezes and unfreezes when i go in and end the java.exe * 32  process. Now if i click the stop button in the IDE it doesnt freeze but it doesnt end the java process either. So after a bit of testing i have tons of java.exe*32 processes running. 

I have both java 32 bit and 64 bit installed. could this be the problem? any hel would be appreciated.

I have Processing 2.0a6
What is the JRE and JDK installed on your machine?
Is your HOME path set?
I have the latest Jdk, I deleted the java folder in the processing folder. I installe the 64 bit version of the JDK and my sketches didn't run so I installed the 32 bit version and then had the same problems.
For the record, I have both Java 32 and 64 installed (Java 6 in 32 bit, Java 7 in both versions) on a 64bit Windows 7 computer, and I don't have this problem. I have no idea why this can happen.
You should try with Processing 1.5.1 (why people start using Processing with an alpha version? alpha = unstable!)
I had processing 1.5.1... im not starting with processing. if no -one used the alpha version no bugs would ever surface. Happy to hear your system has no problems. 

Hi,

i had similiar issues with version 1.5.1 on windows 7.
But i think i only had the problem when using some parts of GLGraphics-library.
for example, the code from this thread causes the issue:
http://forum.processing.org/topic/fast-cropping-of-a-gltexture

on mac everything works fine.
So Procesing 1.5.1 was working fine on your system? That part of information was missing from your previous messages...
Your message was implying that all the Java processes you ran on your system had the same issue.

Of course, people should test 2.0a, but beginners tend to mix problems from their errors, issues because of the alpha release and general issues with Java or Processing.
Hey

i put processing 1.5.1 on my pc and it still doesn't end the process but if i click the stop button in the IDE it does!!! so its only when i click the X in the top corner of the window. Does anyone know if this has been an issue, I am using OPENGL so that might help someone..
Thanks
