Why I can't kill any user process even like a Notepad.exe in the task manager after I installed the SP4 on my Win2000 Server? Before I install the SP4 ,everything goes normally
OK I opened Notepad on the desktop in Windows 2000 Server SP3. I then brought up the Task Manager ctrl-alt-del | Task Manager | Processes. I selected notepad.exe and selected End task. (I only had ONE instance of Notepad) Notepad closed down. What is the error if any when you try this?
If I do this, it just gives me a message box telling me can't finish the operation, handle is invalid somthing like that(because I am not using the English version of W2K server, so I don't know the accurate sentance in English). Thanks

ooh boy I suspect virus. Invalid Handle means the Window Handle in this case Notepad's is not being recognized by the End Process step. There is a way that you can write a small VB program which obtains the handle of an active window. It seems that's the issue here. If that program wasn't able to recognize the handle of an active window then you have a way to duplicate the issue. Fixing it is beyond me. I've never run across it. It's a Win32 API issue. Sorry.
