As of now the only thing that kills the program is to reboot the entire computer. If you open up Windows Task Manager and try to kill it at the process level there, nothing happens. If you click “Close the program” on the window indicating the program isn’t responding anymore, nothing happens. The frustrating thing, and the reason I’m writing you, is that when it crashes you can’t kill the thing through normal means. As such, I’m stuck with a version that runs really poorly on Windows 7 and crashes a lot. I can’t update it because my company insists we need to use this specific version. There is an application I have to use for work that is, shall we say, extremely unstable. What can you do? Read on as we help an HTG reader slay his dragon. Windows informs you a program has stopped responding, you opt to close the program and nothing happens, you try to terminate it in Task Manager and nothing happens, and there you are, stuck with a failed but unslayable program.
