For processes that won't die with a regular kill, go to the command line and do: kill -9 <pid>... A regular kill asks the process to shut itself down, but if it's hung, it wont' respond. The -9 option tells the system to shut the process down without asking it. This almost always works, though I have had the rare time when I've had to reboot to kill a really stubborn process. Shouldn't happen, but nothing's perfect. Ron -- Opinions are mine. Don't blame anyone else.
