Dealing with Frozen Programs

Sometimes programs freeze up or don't seem to be doing anything. You try everything and they still won't move. Here's how to take care of this: (You will lose any unsaved information, so be careful!)

	Hit Ctrl + Alt + Delete to bring up the Task Manager
	Windows 98 users will get a screen with the programs listed. Just highlight the one you want turned off and hit the "End this program" button. You will then get a verification screen. You may need to do this several times before the action occurs.
	In XP with Task Manager up, click the "Applications" Tab. Look for the program that is hanging up. If it says "Running" then give the program some time, it's just taking a while to do its thing. If it says "Not Responding" then right-click and choose "End Task" or highlight and click the "End Task" button.
	If this does not help, and your computer is still frozen, open the Task Manager again and hit Ctrl + Alt + Delete again. This will restart your computer.
	Do not turn your computer off at the base unless you have tried all of these steps first.
