Descent3.exe/main.exe won't close

When I exit a game, I have to use ctrl+alt+delete to close D3, before opening it again. This interferes with AIM. How can I fix it?

Have you patched to the latest version of Descent 3? (Patches can be found here:
http://www.planetdescent.com/site/files/d3/patches/) Although I don't recall any version of D3 exhibiting that behavior before.
Its possible there is some sort of conflict with another piece of software running on your system that is preventing a graceful exit. So first I would try closing all unnecessary background applications before launching Descent 3. You should also close unused applications/icons in the system tray next to the clock (usually you can right click them and find exit or quit in the menu that pops up). You may even want to uninstall the ones that you don't know what they do or you never use since doing that will also speed up your computer.

You might also want to change your video rendering device in the D3 setup.

Audio/Video drivers corrupt, re-install.

Aw... I recently updated them, so that must be it. Thanks.
