Can't get "Kill Frozen Programs" to work

(1/2) > >>

skypilotpete:
I really like the idea of "Kill Frozen Programs", but I can't get it to open using hot keys. It runs correctly when I double click on the program .exe, but nothing happens when I try to invoke it using any combination of hot keys. Any help with this would be very much appreciated.
I run Windows 7 64 home premium.

Shane:
Did you make sure to have the program run as administrator?

I know it needs admin rights because it has to use the Windows API to hook in and see the keyboard keys when your not in the program itself. :wink:

The user account I am running it in has full administrator privileges. Plus I when I extracted the zip file I ran that as administrator. I have no problem running the program when I double click on the exe file. What does not work is when I try to run it using hot keys. Nothing at all happens when I use the hot key combination. Does the Kill_Frozen_Program.exe have to be placed in any particular directory?

Shane:
No it can run from anywhere.

The program looks at all the processes and closes any that Windows has marked as not responding. When you do the key combination it should say in the status window 0 closed or how ever many. Does the status in the program ever change?

skypilotpete:
It appears that I may have been under the mistaken impression that the key combination was intended to open and run the program, not just run it when it was already open. Is this correct, or does the program have to be open at all times, just in case things freeze up? I have found that the key combination will run the program if it is already open, but it will not open it if the program is not already running.
