Pardon me if I shouldn't be here trying to help because I haven't used XP yet. But in my humble experience with 98, Me, I did encountered several times with the situation that some running program suddenly stopped and froze up, then with or without a dialog box, the program wouldn't close (mouse click on X in vain). Although I could close other programs still running, the troubled program just wouldn't close or recover. The only old trick I took other than push the "reset" button was to press "Ctrl"+"Alt"+"Delete" and I got a dialog box telling me the troubled program (with check mark to i.d.) is running improperly and will be shut down. There are 3 or more buttons for you to choose for what you want to do with the problem. If I choose "Yes", the system closes the program. Sometimes, mouse click won't do the job to choose the button and I have to press the "Enter" key to choose "Yes" (it's the recommended). Doesn't this work in XP too?
