Post subject: Task Manager CANNOT KILL PROCESSES Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>vista>general (more info?)
It's really great at ending the processes that are running fine, but when one
hangs, oh no, you're doomed. Reboot.
It's not even the TASK MANAGER. VISTA simply does not have the capability
to manage processes. Even 3rd party programs like Process Explorer and
Process KO can't do it.
My suggestion to MS would be, if you're going to mane an OPERATING SYSTEM,
spend less time on the USELESS AERO GLASS SKIN and more time on actual
FUNCTIONALITY.
Your TASK MANAGER should be able to MANAGE TASKS.

it takes a while, but if you are patient, it does close them. At least I
haven't found one yet that won't. Java vm is the biggest culprit for me -
sometimes printing international mailing labels it either crashes Firefox or
just hangs til I end
process on it.

Wrong!
The Search tool should "Search" files. It does. It won't find, however. That
would be a "Find" tool. Maybe in Windows 7
Honestly, I have Vista here and after getting acustomned to it, I very much
like it. It has a few quirks, but it'S OK.
My only problem is, that drag-drop of files between elevated and
non-elevated programs does not work.

These memory problems can De Ja Vu the windows nightmare experiences all
over, right the way back to 9x.
However, this vista seems only a basic bloated foundation built hastily
on market misconceptions, rather f* annoying adding the given fact that
it now resembles allot like its predecessors from a more noble
heritage.
Anyway, right or wrong, what I am really trying to say has been
unjustifiably shortened in the last sentence.
...as if we don't waste enough time as it is Without worrying about
microsh*ts antics...

Yep. This has always frustrated me. Of course, nobody CAN explain why
the Task "Manager" is so terribly inadequate. Or...maybe it should just
be renamed to Process/Status Viewer to eliminate confusion.
In fact, I need to force a shutdown right now due to a 3rd party
process that has hung and cannot be killed. *Sigh*
