When I shutdown my Powerpoint 2007, 95% of the time it does not exit
cleanly -- that is, it disappears from the desktop, but there is a
POWERPOINT process hanging when checked with "task" tool. Very often,
this hanging process runs in the background that consumes quite some
CPU, that I have to "kill" it. Wonder what's the problem and how can
I fix it? Or this might be a bug to report.

This is highly repeatable on my Window XP. I Googled but didn't find
similar issues by others.

I do not recall adding anything specific to my office installation.
Only thing I can think of is it can play music - but windows has a
default music player...

Have a look here to get a more thorough idea of what's installed:

What add-ins are loaded/installed?
