Did you read the stickied Minion troubleshooting thread in the "
Minion forum"?
In there it's been told to NOT use the 64bit version, but install the 32bit version.
This solution for your described problem can additionally be found

-> found via ESOUI forum search with search term "minion close"
If you did read the Minion stickied forum troubleshooting thread you should please say so and tell us more info about what you did already,
and attach the Minion log and xml files like asked in the also stickied "If Posting Bug Reports or requesting help" thread, so we are able to have a look.
