A small number of users are have an issue with Game Jackal when they have finished with the profile (i.e. shutdown the game). Game Jackal seems to be hanging and this ultimately requires a reboot.
Please try the following tests (each is a separate test).
1) Active a profile, wait for the game to launch then deactivate Game Jackal. This can be done by alt-tab'ing back to the desktop, right-click the Game Jackal icon and select deactivate. Then go back into the game and continue playing. See if the issue still occurs.
2) Insert the game's CD/DVD into the drive before you launch the profile. Leave it in there until you have finished and the profile has shutdown.
3) This test is a little more involved and required a registry change. Open regedit, head to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SlySoft\GameJackal" (or "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SlySoft\GameJackal" for 64 bit OS) and change the value "Default Driver Generation" to 3. Create a new profile and then test. This will create the profile using the old gen 3 method. FYI - you may want to change this value back to 4 when done.
Please post your results. If I think of any other tests I will post here.
