Can't kill vmwp.exe

I have read numerous posts about how to find a hung VM and shut it down, but every article says to kill vmwp.exe and I have been unable to kill this process as an administrator. Any thoughts?

Hi,
Please perform the following suggestion:
On your Hyper-V computer, open Windows Task Manager, navigate to ‘Processes’ tab, click ‘View’ option on the Menu Bar, select ‘Select Columns’, check the ‘Command Line’ box. Please navigate to the ‘Processes’ tab, you will find the vmwp.exe process as the following screen shot.
Note: The vmwp.exe process in highlight is the process of one my virtual machine. ‘3F77F31B-536F-48A2-B69C-90AC32336FCD’ is the GUID of this VM, you can identify the special VM through the GUID.
Please try to kill the vmwp.exe with one of your VM to check whether it works in Windows Task Manager.
Best Regards,
Vincent Hu

Why are you programmatically opening an Excel sheet in C# instead of using the DataFlow task with an Excel input?
Since your task is programmatically starting Excel via "new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();", it is your responsibility to stop it.

Skype crashes. Can't end Skype.exe. Access is Deni...

Lately I've been encountering this problem where Skype crashes and does not let me end the process. I'll try to include as much detail as I can. When the crash occurs, it isn't really announced. You can verify the crash has occurred by simply trying to change your status to Online, Away, Do Not Disturb, etc. If you go to change your status and nothing happens, then I know this crash that I'm referring to has indeed happened. You can close Skype normally. It will close, however, the process Skype.exe won't remove from the RAM. I'm on Windows 8, and if you go to Details on my Task Manager, you can see the process is still active. The RAM usage is not fluxuating, it's as if it's stuck. If you try to end the process once, nothing happens. If you try to end it a second time or more, you'll receive a message that says "Skype.exe cannot be terminated. Access is Denied." I'm not the only one with this problem. I've read that others have encountered it, too.
The only way I can make it so I can use Skype again is to restart my computer because it's effectively the only way to clear my cache (that I know of). The occurring nature of this problem is sporadic. I tried to pinpoint it, but I just can't. Sometimes it happens when my Internet goes out. I reset my router, and when I reconnect, Skype becomes unresponsive. It doesn't only happen when I reconnect from an Internet disconnection. Sometimes it just happens without any change that I know of. I can go days without the problem occurring. Some days, the problem happens in periods that require me to restart multiple times to get it to work. Most people tell me to just use the Windows 8 version of Skype to avoid these issues, but Windows 8 lacks some of the ease of access that the Desktop version of Skype has that I've grown accustomed to as well as the ability to change the volume in my volume mixer. I'd have trouble with either version, honestly. Please respond when you can, any help and solutions will be much appreciated.
Also, I want to note that if I I try to end the process when this crash has not occurred, it does end successfully. This problem, for me, is exclusive to this crash.
My DxDiag: http://tny.cz/ea7c1ac9

I'm having the same problem
Since Microsoft take over skype I've never been able to run skype without problems. It seems that everytime they upgrade skype, this problem comes again.
The worse part is, skype crashes, can't kill process (even with procexp, and whatever solution you think work), can't open new skype, connection wifi becomes instable, and after a while I lose connection to internet, can't even do a clean shutdown because it hangs when closing (I guess because of this special skype process that can't be killed).
Every time I put the laptop to sleep, when I come in again, skype crashes, and the problem comes.
I've more windows shutdowns in this last month than I had during the last 2 years.
What is the solution ? Uninstall Skype and go for another chat/phone/video solution ? Can I've my credit money back ?
Please fix this problem. I'm really very anoid with this new SKYPE FEATURE
Thank you

How to kill a .exe file from java !!

hi !!
how can i avoid duplicate use of a .exe file in jva ! i mean how can i kill duplicated copies sothat i wan allow only one copy ( one use ) at once !!
please help me

A network port can only be used by one process at a time.
So you can use this as a marker or lock to tell if your program
is already running.
It's a hack, and won't work if anyone else choses the same
port you do, or if your program doesn't release the socket
cleanly when it exits.
amarshwren
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.ServerSocket;
public class SocketTest
private static final int LOCK_PORT = 12345;
// replace this method with whatever you really want to do
private void doSomething()
System.out.println("Pretending to do something...");
try
synchronized (this)
while (true) this.wait();
catch (InterruptedException ex)
System.out.println("This won't happen.");
public static void main (String args[])
ServerSocket lockSocket = null;
try
lockSocket = new ServerSocket(LOCK_PORT);
catch (IOException ex)
System.err.println("An instance of SocketTest is already running.");
System.exit(-1);
SocketTest socketTest = new SocketTest();
socketTest.doSomething();

On a clean Firefox download I consistantly can't open Firefox because "Windows can't find Firefox.exe" - doesn't look like it's being downloaded.

I have used several download sites including Mozilla's to try and download Firefox. In every case, when the download is "complete", the Firefox icon appears in the taskbar. When I click on it to open Firefox I get this message "Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again." I've searched my computer and FIrefox.exe is not there. When I looked at the files that were downloaded in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox there are quite a number of files including one with the Firefox icon and the name "Firefox". Clicking it once again brings up that can't find Firefox.exe dialog box. I'm on an Acer Aspire with Win 7 32 bit. I did have Firefox on the laptop but a virus forced me to restore the laptop to its original configuration. I've reloaded my programs with the exception of Firefox.

#Delete the Firefox installation folder, if exist, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Thank you.

Make the tab control a control and not an indicator. If you want to write
to it you need to create a local variable.

Hi i have 50 infoobjects as part of my aggregates and in that 10 infoobjects have received changes in masterdata.so in my process chain the Attribute change run in running for a long time.can i kill the job and repeat the same.

Hi i have 50 infoobjects as part of my aggregates and in that 10 infoobjects have received changes in masterdata.so in my process chain the Attribute change run in running for a long time.can i kill the job and repeat the same.

Hi,
I believe this would be your Prod system, so don't just cancel it but look at the job log. If it is still processing then don't kill it and wait for the change run to complete but if you can see that nothing is happening and it is stuck for a long time then you can go ahead and cancel it.
But please be sure, as these kind of jobs can create problems if you cancel them in the middle of a job.

In Bridge when I R click on psd file and tell it to open in Photoshop it says can't find Photoshop.exe. Photoshop is running at the time. How do I teach it where Photshop.exe is?

I have sort of the exact same problem. Extremely far away from user friendly
I have an second issue as well: When I hook off all-day it comes up with an 8 hour event!
And then if I put in a late start hour it pushes end time to next day due to the 8 hour event suggestion.
All in all this gives a lot of changes just to enter an event.
Command N
I learnt from your input to use this fuction. At least that comes up with a one hour event as default.

[SOLVED] X freezes after "exit"; can't kill X nor use the keyboard

Hi!
I've got a problem with my X server on my fresh installed Arch system. I followed the "Beginner's Guide" and edited the .xinitrd to start xterm for testing. This works well, but unfortunately X seems to freeze when I want go back to the shell via "exit" or when I want to change to another virtual console (Ctrl-Alt F1).
When this happens, my screens go black and my keyboard doesn't work anymore, however I can log in via SSH. I can't kill X and the fourth core of my cpu is at 100%.
This happens when I use a auto-configured xorg.conf from nvidia-xconfig (http://paste.pocoo.org/show/224004/) or when I use my "old" configuration from Ubuntu 9.10 (http://paste.pocoo.org/show/224005/). When I don't use the xorg.conf file at all, then X wont even start.
I've got a Xorg.0.log from the test with the nvidia-xconfig generated xorg.conf: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/224002/ I can't see what's wrong here.
Thanks for your help!

Can't find Javac.exe

I'm new to Java (presently taking a class). I'm very confused and not getting too far. I'm running Win XP and have downloaded the latest version of Java J2SE1.4.0_01 (actually because of repeated problems, I've uninstalled and installed it a few times).
I can't find javac.exe anywhere on my c drive. I read a past forum posting describing the same problem which suggests downloading the latest version of SDK1.4. Isn't this what I have been downloading? Where can I find this download? If it isn't what I've been downloading, why do I need both and how would I have known this? I understand how to set the path once I get javac.exe but I'm becoming frustrated trying to obtain this file and move forward with my study of java. Thanks for the help.

If you need only to run a java application then you just need a JRE (Java Runtime Enviorment ). It contains everything that you wanted to run it.
But, if you want to develop some java application , then you needs something more... you need to have to compile those source files first... For this what you want is a SDK (Software development Kit)... Both is free.. You can download the 1.4sdk from http://java.sun.com/Download6
After downloading and installing it, set the path corectly to include the bin directory of the installed folder..
Hope it helped

I click a link but it doesn't open. Instead I get a popup saying "Open the link in a new window," "Open link in a new tab," etc. How can I kill this popup or whatever it is forever?

I click a link but it doesn’t open. Instead I get a popup saying “Open the link in a new window,” “Open link in a new tab,” etc. How can I kill this popup or whatever it is forever?

That happens if the server sends the file as text/plain.
You can see this if you open "Tools > Page Info > General": Content-Type: text/plain
Files send this way will always open in a tab.

Can I make Labview Exe which can be executed i A PC which is not having labview

hi,
I am using lab view 7.1. Can we make a exe or installer, which can be run in a PC which is not having labview installed. If that can be done, please let me know which edition i have to use and how can i do
with Regards,
Ashok.

Hi Ashok,
you have to use the ApplicationBuilder (which is not included in the Base/Student version). Ask your local NI representative for help - maybe you get an old LV7.1 AppBuilder, but most likely you have to upgrade to the actual version...
You can make exe for other computers. You can either build a full setup/installer routine or you just copy the exe and install the RunTimeEngine manually (more hazzle possible...).
Best regards,

I can't find OPatch.exe

I will plan to install CPU Patch on Oracle 9.2.0.7 but I can't find opatch.exe and not OPatch folder on any drive.
What's wrong and how to fix problem?
Thank you

Since you declare you are in 9.2.0.7.0, you should be aware that at the companion readme file there is a note that clearly states as a post install step you must install an additional patch which relates to the opatch:
9.3.3 Download the Latest Version of OPatch
You must install OPatch version 1.0.0.0.53 in order to apply patches on top of 9.2.0.7. Download and unzip patch 2617419.
