Description
When the 'nuke icon' starts up on Windows boot, right-clicking the icon and clicking exit appears to have no effect.
When right-clicking again, the menu re-appears but sticks, becomes non-interactive but remains.
The only way to fully exit the background process was to fire up the task manager and force it shut.
Running Eraser after this force quit and exiting with the above method works fine.
I have tested this on being freshly installed and over a reboot.
This is on Windows Vista SP1 Build 6001

I don't know if you wanted anyone to let you know if they also had this problem, on a different OS version, but I experienced it, too, on Win 7 Pro 32-bit (fresh, full install).

I'm experiencing it on Windows 7 RC1 x64 as well, but when I break into the Eraser process I don't get any stack traces at all. I'll need to further debug this.
