1. Open Task Manager
2. In "Applications" tab, if the program is listed then [Right click it > Go to
process]. If not, go to process tab and look for your program. It will be something
like: dvd43.exe
3. Right click the process name and choose End Process > Click Yes.

Open task manager: right click a blank area of the taskbar, select Task
Manager. Click on the process tab, find it's process, then right click on
it and select end process. There might be more than one process for it.
Use some of these research sites to determine what each process is.
