Hi Pete,

Without entering in discussions I do not want to get into (personally I
like D2006 a lot, but I understand different people can have different
experiences), something that might help when you can't kill a process
is sysinternal's process explorer:

http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.html

It can kill many process the normal task manager can't and also has a
lot of extra goodies (like for example knowing which process is keeping
the handle to that open file you can't delete)

Not a solution to your issues, but it might help avoiding the reboot :)
Best regards,
Adrian.
