There's a very nice little tool called TaskInfo (maybe TaskInfo98 now: he 
went shareware on the last release or so).  I think it's grabbable from 
www.winfiles.com

Essentially the same as the WinNT task-manager thingy: lets you see and kill 
individual processes, a *lot* better than the standard ctrl-alt-delete menu

Try using that and see what's hidden in the background.
