Can't kill a process

Hi!

I'm using XP SP2 with all updates.
But when my divx player hangs I can't really kill it. I mean system works
perfectly it's just this 1 app stops working. So I want to kill it, but I
can't. I tried using task manager to kill it, I even wrote infinite loop in
powershell that sends kill signal to this process and even after 2 minutes of
this nothing happend. I have admin rights on my system it's just home pc.

Is there any other way to kill the process ?

Go grab Process Explorer and fire it up to kill the process you want.
