responding.

appears.
2 From the Applications tab, locate the application that has the status message,
"Not responding."
3 Select the application that has a Not Responding status and click End Task.
Windows attempts to close the application.
If your computer does not respond or the application does not close, try the
following steps:
1 Save all open files, if possible.
2 Press the Alt+F4 keys. The Turn Off Computer window appears.
3 Click Restart.
If your computer still does not respond or restart, shut down your computer by
pressing and holding the power button for more than six seconds.
If the software application continues to stop responding or causes your computer
to stop responding, contact the software publisher or designated technical support
provider.
Pressing and holding the power button for more than six seconds may result in
