As Cartman would say: assmaster. If I didn't have a pop-up killer, I'd be screwed. As it was, I had to right click the task bar and kill it there.

unfortunately for me, i had my popkiller on so i did NOT notice that this would happen. when i turned removed my taskbar popup killer program and tried it again. i found out what crashed Jorath Calar, Johnny , and Brennihelvete computer since my computer also crashed. that was a dirty program which popup everytime you delete it. again sorry guys didnt mean it that way... no bad feelings i hope.
