I create a video with VideoWave and then open MyDVD Express to burn a DVD.  When done, I close MyDVD Express with "OK" and also normally close VideoWave.  However, when I shut down the PC, I get one or more occurrences of "Roxio Graph Notify Window" still running.  I have to terminate each occurrence or wait for it to close itself before the PC will shut down.  There are apparently as many of these as DVDs burned  --  I have seen as many as a dozen copies of this program still running.

This seems to be the progress meter display in the Burn Project dialog.

How can I prevent this or is this another bug in Roxio?

Many thanks for your ideas.

Another Bug?

Do you get the same problem if you use the regular MyDVD?
Regardless of what I say about computer maintenance, there is no need to defrag a solid state hard drive.

I just tried it with MyDVD and the problem did not occur.  However, I don't think it happens every time with MyDVD Express.  Alos, I want to create the DVD without a menu and therefore use MyDVD Express since it allows "DVD without mneus".

So does MyDVD; simply select that from the top menu   file>new project.  Run it for awhile and see if you get the error.
