    No restart button in task manager

    another easy way to kill tasks, download and install Winaero Tweaker(free) and theres a setting to add a Kill non responding tasks using the desktop right click menu. When you place your cursor on the desktop anywhere and right click the option is at the top of the list, Very handy and you dont have to go through all those steps and well Winaero Tweaker has alot of cool Windows tweaks. Just posting a different suggestion, Im sure your ok with what was suggested here.

    Can't get out [Fixed!]

    ctrl-alt-delete ?

    from there you can shut down, log off, restart, or open Task manager

    or just hold the Power button down on the Case/box until it eases into darkness*Wink Can't open task manager, shut down and restart buttons aren't there ;)
