Non Responding Program 

If you suspect one of your open programs is causing a problem,
save any data and press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to open the Close
program box.  This box displays Not Responding after the pro-
gram name if it shows trouble spots.  You may be able to save
your Windows session by selecting the unresponsive program
and pressing End Task to terminate it.  It may take a several
minutes for an End Task confirmation dialog to appear.

Sometimes you can un-stick one frozen program by terminating 
another that's not responding. This will save you lots of time 
and frustration by saving unsaved data from certain death.
