best vista app

Is there a program that runs on vista that can kill a process,and really do it no matter what

I don't know. I just find it funny that you're running a beta program on a beta operating system.

 

[kissingmybbgoodbye]

kill vista

Click Shutdown! Once the system is off, the process should be dead!

What application are you running that Vista won't close?

Maybe its still running, after he shut his pc off...

seriously though..something that cant be closed by the task manager is something you shouldn't be running..

Theres a prog called killbox that does what you want to do. Haven't tried it under Vista though.

 

[kronoSX]

all these months i have vista there was a program killprocess that just never worked for me.

 

[killadoob]

you ctrl alt delete and stop it there

as ivan says if you cannot close it there nothing will

remember vista is only as good as the user hahaha

 

[kronoSX]

If the process runs at startup you can try this:

Run -> msconfig

Disable the process/program which will run at startup (do a selective startup I think). This should keep the process from starting when your Windows Vista gets loaded

i know all this already,but sometimes a app like powerdvd dont want to close and i cant wait for it,as vista takes its own time to close it.

 

[killadoob]

ctrl alt del

start task manager

click on processes and close to from there

Make sure that you have admin rights. Some processes cannot be closed, e.g. AV and Firewall services, even if you are admin though. Has something to do with the permissions but I've not figured it out yet.

There is also a registry hack somewhere where you can reduce the time it takes for vista to autokill it when it does not respond.
