Re: Task Manager CANNOT KILL PROCESSES


We cannot let people go around spreading these lies about Vista and
Microsoft. They just aren't true! Vista ISN'T OK!!!!

It is a complete waste of coding time. Worse, it is a waste of
everybody's installation time.

You cannot kill the blasted processes! I am sitting looking at a
process that has been these for 3 hours. If you think I'm waiting this
time every time I want to kill a process you have got to be a comedian.

My shutdown can take forever. And I have to reboot to get over the
browser issue (Vista, locks up ANY browser....just for http port). There
is NO solution except to reboot (see
http://winvistaforums.com/windows-vi...ter-while.html)

So, if you are working, and your browser packs up, you have to reboot
and it still takes forever!

Serously, what Microsoft are doing here is nothing short of criminal.
It is money for old rope. As the guy above says....Win9x all over
again....and they don't get any ropier than that!

Re: Task Manager CANNOT KILL PROCESSES


I can not believe this, I can not end my OWN process, it tells me access
is denied. I am administator, I am the creator of that f**n process. How
come something like this vista "thing" can be called an operating system
while it is NOT even capable of control the OPERATIONS ! I hate this, I
really really do, as a programmer, I have to waste my time, money and
LIFE for this kind of BS, becouse it is so called mainstream ! Damn !

Re: Task Manager CANNOT KILL PROCESSES

Your problem is that you do not know how to use an operating system. Calm
down.

Re: Task Manager CANNOT KILL PROCESSES


sadly, I can confirm that this travesty of a problem persists right into
windows 7. If the process hangs, there is often NOTHING you can do to
stop it other than rebooting, and frequently, that means holding down
the power button because it won't initiate the shutdown proceedure with
the hung program. to the absolute moron above (a few posts), to assume
that it is a lack of knowledge that causes this problem... idiot. the
taskkill command "succeeds" and does nothing. the task manager does
nothing. you are stuck with an unresponsive program, and evidently even
logging out and back in doesn't allow you to reload the program in
question. it is no longer an "active" process, but you get an error
when you attempt to reload it.

and the person that started this thread at least is not talking about
system processes. it is 3rd party stuff like firefox (which is
currently hung in my case).

Re: Task Manager CANNOT KILL PROCESSES


I partly agree with both of you... One, you may not know how to use the
OS
or buy or build a good PC to run Vista on..
Yes I have had hangs or hung processes,, but it is a small number of
apps and usually older ones that work fine on XP machines.... but for
some reason hang or function strangly on Vista... Remember moving from
Win95 to 98 Or XP how many head aches did that cause you?
Sounds like you may have some corrupt file issues or compatability
problems to have all browsers hang... I use no less than 4 of them
every day... to test web sites.. Opera, Internet Explorer, Mozilla,
Firefox, and Safari to name a few.. I don't think i have ever had one
of thos hang... but I don't do games on Vista... only my Best XP box for
that...

Go MAC or Linux,
I'm just not geeky enough for that !

Re: Task Manager CANNOT KILL PROCESSES

You could try out Dtaskmanager, it's able to forcibly kill a process. I have used it for years, both with XP and Vista and I've been able to kill all processes with it.

Probably just a glitch in that pitiful Usenet gateway you are using.
