Ending the process under Windows Hello,
NNL
Are you doing "end process" or "end process tree". If you're just doing "end process" try right-clicking on on the application and select "go to process". Then, right-click on the process and select "end process tree".
Yet another anon
I've tried both "end process" AND "and process tree". But I don't have the option "go to process".
NNL
"go to process" is on the context menu only when you're in the Applications tab and you right-click on the application. This is handy when you're not sure what the parent process is for an application.

Thanks for the suggestion but "go to process" option points to the application I’m trying to end with "end process". "go to process" -> "end process tree" still crashes the machine :(((
NNL
check if drwatsn32.exe is running, maybe program is stalled in debugger
Maybe This?
Try running Tasklist and Taskkill from a Command Prompt and see if it returns any useful error messages.
.
Dr.Watson is not running :( so no process is being debugged. Unfortunately, tasklist and taskkill are WinXP/W2003 Server commands (but I still don't think they'd help). Or should I copy them from my W2003 Server VM?

I'm starting to remember why I wish I didn't have to use Windows.
dot for this one
Could you share the name of the application? I have never had Win2K crash on be when I ended a task. This might be a special case.

If you have Visual C++ on your machine, you can debug the process and then stop the debugger.
