- I just tried running PCTools backup in a DOS window that has hung
- completely. Even worse, I can't close the window. I've tried double clicking
- and agreeing to close without saving data. I've tried selecting from the
- task list window. I've tried the KILLEM program. I've tried a shutdown. None
- of these works.
-
- Is there any way of closing this window without a Ctrl-Alt-Del? This happens
- to me fairly often when crashes occur in a DOS window, but I don't think
- I've seen anyone else mention the problem. Am I all alone here?
