I was loading a large file into a program ethereal - and after 10 minutes there seemed to be not much progress with the dataload.
So I right clicked in the bottom tray put the mouse over the ethereal icon and rightclicked and selected close program. A message came back the program was not responding and gave me the option to End or cancel. I chose end but nothing happened. So I tried this again and again and again...but the program would not close and I couldn't move on to other things. Is there an sure-fire way to KILL a program in windows similar to the Unix kill -9??

Yeah - I tried to bring up the task manager with ctl-alt-delete...but the system was so busy it could not get it to me. I had a dos box I could alt-tab to. If there was a command line command that would let me nuke the proc...

Do a ctrl-alt-del and go to services. Find the service running and kill it. That works better that trying to stop the program

You might be able to do the following: go to my computer>system tasks> Add or Remove Programs.
