Memory problem

Memory Problem

This problem started about a month ago. I have two games that I play which
are not exiting memory when I shut that game off. I am playing World Of
Warcraft over the internet, and a bargain basement game called Just Aces
(not internet play). After shutting either of these off, I cannot access the
internet until I use Ctrl-Alt-Delete to find and shut down the *.exe file
for the game. They will not be on the first tab but the seconds tab with all
other processes. After shutting them off this way, computer works normally.

Anyone know what is wrong with my system?
