| | Killing a process I ran into a little problem concerning a certain game protection process on my Vista Home Basic notebook. I'd like to kill the process, but it gives me an "access denied" in taskmanager. The process doesnt run under a "name" Whereas normal processes run under my username or "administrator" thisone runs under nothing. Tried it with CMD as well, taskkill /im process.exe <-- "Could not be terminated, access denied" The reason i want to kill it is pretty simple, I'd like to be able to surf and chat when I'm gaming, and this protection system slows it down (it kinda scans everything). Killing it works on XP, but vista... Thanks for your input!  |

| | Re: Killing a process There is probably some dependency running also, you need to find what that is first before you can kill it. There is a possibility also there might be a Service that you need to stop first. -- Andre Blog: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com My Vista Quickstart Guide: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...3DB!9709.entry "vertigo" <vertigo@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:F6AA43DA-10D6-4F9F-BBA9-F923077B89C3@xxxxxx Quote: > > I ran into a little problem concerning a certain game protection process > on > my Vista Home Basic notebook. > > I'd like to kill the process, but it gives me an "access denied" in > taskmanager.

Right click on the process and pick End process tree. -- Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca/phpBB2/ |
