    Steve,

    I understand what are saying now. This is correct. Although you have
    administrative priviledges on your box you will not be able to kill a
    process running under the system account from the task manager. You
    need to use kill.exe which comes with the resource kit or pskill.exe
    which is free and can be downloaded from http://www.sysinternals.com.
    I hope this helps.
