Civ3.exe still running after exit under XP

I don't see a mention of a problem I'm experiencing, so I wondered if anyone else gets it.

Essentially, I'm running Civ3 on Windows XP Pro, and it works fine, except that after quitting Civ3, the Civ3.exe doesn't terminate. Pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete shows that it continues to run after the game has exited. The result of this is that I can't start Civ3 again (clicking on the icon simply results in no response), as it is already running. Ending the Civ3 process from the Windows task manager allows me to run Civ3 again.

I am running XP Pro and I have no run into that problem. I have no help to offer but at least you know that it doesn't happen to everyone.
