To force Windows 7 to close the frozen application, either right-click on the program's name, and choose " End Task" from the context menu, or click to select the application, and press the End Task button at the bottom of the Task Manager window.Here is an example of a frozen program: notice that the Task Manager displays a " Not Responding" notice next to the program name - if this column switches to say " Running", it means that the program has resumed running normally, and that its process no longer needs to be killed.(If you cannot locate the frozen program under " Applications", click on the " Processes" tab at the top: this is where Windows 7 lists most other programs currently running on your computer.).Once you have started the Task Manager, click on the " Applications" tab if needed: most of the time, this will be enough to find the problematic program you want to close.
