Program Window may not be visible when program hangs

Sometimes when a program stops responding (Hangs), the program window may not be visible even though it is shown as ʺnot respondingʺ in the Windows Task Manager.

This is because the Windows XP Ghost Window feature creates ghost windows on behalf of programs when they donʹt respond correctly to window messages.

There is a hotfix available for this problem.
