i need a solution that works. dont pm me as it will cause problems for me if someone else answers later in the topic

problem:

> after working with a program, it stays in the task manager. for example i work with word (pirated version) and photoshop (also pirated version) a lot, but when i close them, they stay in the task manager as open processes. and multiple instances too ! so i could end up with 10 photoshops, each one using 100k of memory, which is a problem because im not working with much here!
> this happens with most programs, for example vlc player, notepad, total commander (pirated version ofc)
> system is windows 7 (guess what, its a pirated version), but i know thats not a problem since ive been using the same system for years

thenk !


edit: the only program it doesnt happen with is paint for whatever reason
edit #2: off to sleep, dont worry if you solve it and i dont pay, will do that when i wake up !

My suggestion is purchase the operating system licensing and purchase the applications to support the developer(s). No one here will be able to assist you with pirated/cracked applications on a supported/unsupported operating system.

I would also try posting here and you'll find more detailed assistance.

You get what you pay for.

I would save my files and reset the whole system, you gotta do it from time to time.

of the programs mentioned only the total commander devs i could consider supporting (vlc too but that ones free), others can die in a fire for all i care

also telling a slav to buy software is like telling an indian to shit in a toilet. i mean you are technically right, but its an option we dont really consider
i know exactly one person here who used to always buy software. the guy actually bought heroes of might and magic VI. but since the game is always online and ubisoft discontinued support for it, his legal version doesnt work, while my pirated one does he will know better now!

This. You cant complain about pirated software not working properly. It’s not supposed to work properly, and there are almost always downsides to things that aren’t legit. Video games aren’t the same as programs designed to create projects and various other things.

im fairly certain this isnt due to it being pirated, it has worked for years. also some of the things like vlc are free and i didnt need to pirate them



i hope i dont have to do this, i hate reinstalling my system

At least it's not win 10 where you have to spend 1 hour turning things off after installing.

I split my discs C is for windows only and D for everything else, makes it easy to reset if need be.

Free =/= pirated
There is a difference between pirated software and free software lol.
