Closing Locked-Up Programs
Reader rating: 5 out of 10 Introduction When Windows hangs, it is usually the cause of one or more programs. This How-To Article focuses on how you can "unlock" your system without restarting it. Closing Locked-Up Programs 1. Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE. 2. A list of the currently running programs will display. 3. Click a program that says: "Program Name (Not Responding)". 4. Click the End Task button. 5. This will attempt to close the program you just selected. 6. Wait a few seconds, then try Steps 1-4 again. 7. Continue doing this until the program has disappeared from the list (when you press CTRL+ALT+DELETE), or when an "End Task" dialog is displayed (more on that below). 8. Once a window displays telling you that a program is not responding, click the End Task button to finally close that program.
