That page has the following info:

APPLIES TO
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Edition
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Server
• Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Standard Edition
• Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Developer Edition
• Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition


If you are running Vista....it ain't mentioned.

yeah... that confused me for a little while. especially after i read posts
from some geeks in other forums where they talk about XP, 2k, NT and stuff
that makes them sound like they arent communicating in English.

since this is a Vista forum, i thought that thing URL may apply to Vista
too, even though its not on the list.


oh well, nvm. thanks for clearing up anyway.

Hi Ristar,

Have you sorted this problem? I have the same issue with killing
Counter-Strike on my vista. And it's so annoying! :confused: Have to
reset my hardware to sort this out.

Does anyone have the same problem? MS guys have you heard about that?

Thanks,
Ivan

isnt Vista pathetic?

not only does the processes hang for NO RHYME OR REASON, we have to depend
on a 3rd party freeware to solve the problem this OS (which costs $$) has.

lol... it's just like MS to produce such an OS. oh, and they conveniently
dont have a bunch of people who customers can contact regarding their s/w
problems, and we, paying customers, have to rely on forums.

wat a joke.

thanks for recommending Unlocker 1.8, i will try using it the next time
firefox hangs to see if it works.

I may be stupid because I don't get it! You claim FireFox hangs on you
for no good reason and you claim Vista is the problem! Did it ever occur
to you that the program that you are running is more likely to be the
source of the hang up? It seems obvious to me that if others are running
the same software under Vista without the problems that you are
experiencing then there is something wrong with either the installation
of the problem program or you have hardware issues.

Post your complete system specs, with a complete description of what is
happening, and you might get some useful help to solve the problem.
