how to end a "process" when I get "access denied"

[holden j caufield]

ok UT sometimes just loops music and the onscreen play just freezes. pressing clt-al-del I can get to task manager in NT but when I try to end the process I get "access denied" is there a work around for this becauce UT looping music takes up about 60mb of physical ram. thx.

Is it possible to do it from DOS?

Bump for ya...I'd like to know the same thing. There have been times I've had this happen, particularly with CDRWin and CloneCD. Win2k won't let me kill the process and suggests stopping any running debug routines, of which there aren't any.

Best regards,
Floyd

I used to know where to disable the debugging crap.

Hmkay ... well, I've run into the same problem. There are two situations. The first is when the proggie is beign debuged. If you see drwtsn32.exerunning, then just kill it. If you don't want an event log to be written, then:
1) Right click "My Computer"
2) Properties
3) Advanced
4) Startup and Recovery
5) Deselect "Write an event to the system log"
5) Instead of Small Memory Dump, select none.
6) OK everything from there

If anyone knows any restrictions of doing this, please post here

If drwtsn32.exe isn't running, and there's no way to kill the app, only a reboot will do, I think

Correct me if I am wrong (It has bee a while since I used 2k) but isn't their someway to run a program witha lower priority? It sounds like your apps have been given system level prioroity which outranks admin.
