taskmanager cant end process

Hi guys,

I haven't been able to find any information on how to overcome this
problem.

When a third party software decides to 'stop responding' and I choose
to "Close program", the application's window is closed, but the
process is still running. If I select the persistent process and click
the "End Process" button, the precess does not end; and there is no
way I can force-close the process - except to restart the computer.

I am currently using Vista Ultimate x64, and I'm the Administrator.
I'm simply referring
to processes of third-party software (e.g. Firefox,uTorrent,Oper
etc...)

Here's the strange thing: generally I can end any process through Task
Manager, until the program decides to stop responding, that's when I
am unable to end it's process

Hi,

Might be locked in a loop. Is it always the same software or does it vary?
Has the machine been thoroughly scanned for malware under Safe mode?

Watch for a process called dumprep. I think that's what it is called. My
Vista Home Premium x64 has programs freeze up sometimes, and while those
processes are ending, dumprep always comes up. I kill that process and it
closes just fine.
