When a program freezes, the maximize/restore button on the top right becomes grey and unusable. The icon for the program on the far left becomes the standard white box with a blue outline. Everything inside the window becomes white.
After you press X, nothing happens, then after a few seconds a little box comes up that says "End now" and "Cancel", or something to that extent. You press "End now".
"Now" comes and goes, and the program is still taking up your screen. Just as you're about to fix things by banging on your keyboard with your fist, a slightly bigger box comes up; "Send", "Don't send".
You click "Don't send" because frankly you don't care. You just want the program to close. You wait. Nothing happens. You repeat this process a few times. Still nothing.
In resignation, you reach down to restart your computer.
Not a second after you click the "Restart" button, the program that got stuck, as well as 5 other programs that wouldn't open when you clicked on them come up. You try desperately to stop the restart, but you're too late. Within a few seconds, your computer goes blank.
It is then when you start banging on your keyboard to fix the problem.

I hate windows SO much.
I can't wait to get linux.
Or maybe I'll just buy myself a crappy, ugly-ass iMac...
Anyway, great point, funny story and the exact same shit happens to me ALL the time. ^_^
It's called "end process" nub.
I fucking hate it when that happens.
I've found that well-aimed hammers do the trick quite well though.
Man, if I had a quarter for evertime that has happend, I'd be a billionare serisouly.
:D Great post.
..........Ogrilla.. Just get linux. Its not hard, yo.
And for your problem. It is really simple to get out of it.
When it happens, go to task manager, and incase you dont know what that is, Ctrl Alt Delete.
Now click the proccess tab. Choose the program in there, and click End Process. WAY BETTER THEN END TASK.
That's even worse.
Doesn't make a difference.
KUMPYOODER ILLITERATE LOL
actually end process just completely closes whatever you're in immediatly, so no. its better, nub.
End process does not close what you're doing, which is what this whole article is about.
Please refrain from posting on my blog.
Windowned.
I love Windows, but yeah, I get the same stuff.
This makes me want to go out and not buy a mac.
I fucking hate when that happens.Specially GMod, but when GMod crashes it can be entirely closed down by finishing the process "HL2.exe".
But when you're using a Microsoft product and it crashes, there's nothing you can do except from praying that you won't lose your data.And you can't end process it because all the Windows processes all look exactly like each other, for example, IE.
It's REALLY FUCKING EASY to accidentally close the Windows Explorer (Explorer.exe) instead of IE (EXPLORER.EXE, see the problem here?).Some programs don't even show their processes.
The "End Program" button doesn't work, at ALL, and there's no way to know why.Windows seems to be able to mess up and slow down even the easiest tasks.
You don't even know how many times that has happened to me. When I go to task manager and end process, the same thing happens. It makes me want to smash my own head through the monitor.
