Open Task Manager 2. In "Applications" tab, if the program is listed then [Right click it Go to process]. If not, go to process tab and look for your program. It will be something like: dvd43.exe 3. Right click the process name and choose End Process Click Yes. → Ayush [ Good :-) Luck ] ------------- Search - www.Google.com | Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org Snip your long urls - http://snipurl.com/ ------------- |

Open task manager: right click a blank area of the taskbar, select Task Manager. Click on the process tab, find it's process, then right click on it and select end process. There might be more than one process for it. Use some of these research sites to determine what each process is.
