Greetings all. I'm on Windows 7 professional, and I do not have admin rights. I use many VBScript files, and have no issue there. My issue is that every time I run one of them, the wscript.exe process is left running. If there gets to be several instances of it the cpu usage spikes, the fan goes into overdrive, and my laptop sounds like a jet about to take off until I manually kill them all using the task manager. This is what I have tried.
- Put wscript.quit at the end of the script: does not seem to do anything.
- call the script files from a batch file, using both cscript.exe and wscript.exe. I read several posts on this issue, and there seemed to be some success for some folks, but both cscript.exe and wscript.exe are left running.
- call the script files from the command prompt, and same as above.
I found

At this point I am at a total loss as to what else I can do. I sure would appreciate any other method anyone could offer. Thank you.
