program not responding

[marklwood]

Is she closing down Hoster before she shuts down the comuter? Try hitting "alt" "ctrl" "delete" keys to bring up task manager. Shut the program down from there to see if it truly is Hoster that is not responding. After that, you can randomly close programs until you find the culprit. The worst you can do is cause you system to freeze and have to do a power button reset like she is already doing. If it is Hoster you can try the options at the top of Hoster and set the priority to normal and try again. The only problem with that solution is you might experience pauses or lags when you do anything except run Hoster. If you do, reset it to a higher priority.
