Re: Delphi 2006 broken

I don't think that has anything to do with Delphi - I've only had to reboot like twice due to an app getting hung in about 3 years. I think in all those cases it was Explorer or NAV that got hung up. I kill several tasks a day and had to do it numerous times when using D2005. I think you may have other issues under the hood. I've had D2006 get hung (see my post regarding it hanging with the bdsproj file has old stuff in it) but I've never, ever had any issue ending the task (or any task for that matter) and I haven't had any issues debugging either...

I knew a guy who had problems like you are experiencing and while he never figured out what was causing it (a reinstall of XP fixed it but of course no one knows why) he used to logoff to get XP to close some programs that he couldn't. Seemed to work most of the time instead of a full reboot... Don't know if would work for you or not.

As I've said in other posts, I tried to kill the process with task
manager. It did not work. I had to reboot rather forcibly (i.e. hit
the reset button) to recover.
