I don't have problem in IDE. I had prepared a revision with per exe startup and shutdown, no per command in M2000, nothing change. Same problem. When I remove gdiplus and replace the routine to save jpg with a vb class...no problem.,All test run perfect.Check it with this scenario...One exe call 10 other exe end each one first run a delay and then save a picture in a jpg file with the help of gdiplus. So check if all programs ends properly. You can check task manager and temporary folder for that.
