Are your operating systems the same?  I had lots of problems with 
CharacterMap.exe (FM 9, Win XP). It would not close when FM was closed, 
and chewed up all my resources, bringing the system to a crawl.  I had 
to use End Process on it to get the OS freed up again.

I have not had the problem since changing to FM10 and Win 7 64.
