Process Killer App
« on: December 02, 2009, 03:43:05 PM »
Basically I need an app which kills a specified process through keybinding. Problem is I often have games freeze, yet everything in the background still runs fine, but I cant get out of the freeze to kill the process, meaning I have to restart. The problem is especially annoying in VC or SA where I have a weird bug which occasionally freezes the game to a black screen when I go into the ESC menu.

In short - I press Ctrl + Shift + End (example), process gta-vc.exe is killed, sending me to desktop.

Does such a thing exist?

You've got Windows XP? If so, goto control panel -> user accounts -> change style of user login -> select classic.

Don't know if it's like that in english, but should be. Then, everytime you press CTRL + ALT + DEL, it'll open a dialogbox where you can select what you want to do. Works everytime for me, even when the game freezes.

Using Home, not Professional, and can't find any option as you described so I assume Home doesn't support it.

Hm, I've found something that would be working much better(since you don't have to setup shortcuts for each game): http://code.google.com/p/superf4/
