I use Passcrypt since years and never had a problem until I installed in it Windows 7, where it runs properly but just doesn't terminate properly.
I understand the thing with PAUSE, but it gives no information concerning how Passcrypt terminates, but just: "Type any key to continue." Nothing else. I can terminate "properly" that way, but I have to terminate TWICE: once with the x icon in Passcrypt and once more through typing any key... the latter to additionally kill the process. The CMD window only appears again after "terminating" Passcrypt the first time with the x icon. Otherwise it would terminate already when I type something in Passcrypt...
The Options window doesn't show anything helpful and looks differently in my old version.

The comment was made that killing a task which has a database open will probably corrupt it, and is something you should take note of.

You run a very large chance of corrupting your password database by forcing the task closed.
