Access not shutting down correctly or completely

[ineloquucius]

I'm running a re-installed (after the problem began), fully updated version of Access from Office 2000 on a fully updated version of XP tablet (which I believe is xp pro adapted). If I open Access, and then open any .mdb at all, then close Access, I find the msaccess.exe remains in the tasklist of the task manager indefinitely. Also, the lockfile for that file remains in place. This has caused code errors in these mdb files where OLE errors begin to crop up.

Has anyone had an experience similar to this?

Many thanks.
