Hello. Recently I had some problems ending unresponsive/frozen processes. Normally what I do with unresponsive processes is fire up the task manager and end it. But that does not work all the time. Yesterday, I downloaded a video converter for RIPPING my DVD's, and it freezes and becomes unresponsive often. Task manager doesn't work, I even tried the command "taskkill /f /fi "STATUS eq not responding" in CMD. A message in cmd comes up saying: SUCCESS: The process with PID (something) has been terminated. But the WINDOW is still there, completely unresponsive. The only thing worked was restart. There are also some other applications on my PC with the same problem.
Any help is appreciated!Last time I saw this it was that I was running a program that was poorly programmed in Delphi and intended for 32 bit on a 64-bit system. I did get it to behave by under Windows 7 64-bit to tell it to run XP compatability mode for this program and run as admin.

If you had other programs also acting this way I'd suggest running a memtest86 on it to make sure that all is well, but I think you might be running onto a program that is poorly created and intended for 32-bit when run on 64-bit OS.
