Guest yawnmoth Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 There's a process I'm trying to kill and am quite unable to do so. I go into the Task Manager, hit the End Process button, click 'Yes', and... nothing happens. I use the command line tools mentioned at <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457123.aspx>, and nothing happens. It says all the processes have been killed, but they still show up when I use tasklist. I download KILL from <http://www.petri.co.il/ download_free_reskit_tools.htm>, as recommended by <http:// support.microsoft.com/kb/155075>, and after five minutes of just sitting there, doing nothing, KILL crashes. Any ideas?

You might try out taskkill.exe; it's native to XP. Here's a link if you want some background. I use it to close down progs via batch files when I start them via batches. http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/446/xp_kill_windows_process_command_line_taskkill/ I forget which Service Pack it came with. MS seemed to use it for some ornery shutdown problems they were having. It's pretty handy & seems to work well. There is also a less powerful "Kill.exe". They're located in \windows\system32\ HTH Twayne > - > > " db.·.. ><))) ·>` .. ." <databaseben.public.newsgroup.microsoft.com> > wrote in message news:u%23PLAbFOJHA.3520@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... >> if it's malware or another >> type of infection , then >> you're wasting your time. >> >> -- >> >> db·´¯`·...¸><)))º> >> DatabaseBen, Retired Professional >> - Systems Analyst >> - Database Developer >> - Accountancy >> - Veteran of the Armed Forces >> >> "yawnmoth" <terra1024@yahoo.com> wrote in message >> news:d557a4ce-91ad-4a93-ad45-02c5ce49e41d@v28g2000hsv.googlegroups.com... >>> There's a process I'm trying to kill and am quite unable to do so. >>> I >>> go into the Task Manager, hit the End Process button, click 'Yes', >>> and... nothing happens.
