How to exit?

When you're in-game, click the set of crossed tools on the far right of the system menu. It will pop out another set of icons, click the far right one there too, it looks like this:

Ah yep, so when you click the box on the window itself PWI will minimize into your system tray. This is probably what happened, if it happens again look at your system tray on the bottom right corner of your screen, and you should see a PWI icon. If you close that out you will most likely fix that problem. b:victory

Yeah you'll have to either click the icon and exit the game as I described earlier, or use the task manager to close it. The system tray thing is more for convenience, many of our users play in windowed mode and sometimes they need to minimize the client.

I do know that playing in full screen may lead to the game client glitching out after you try to bring the window up again, so in that case use the task manager or just restart your computer.

couldnt he just log out his Vista/XP user and re-log in?... that makes all the active programs close and all the normal startup programs start. after that you can like... re-open PWI
