    In a related late-breaking story, usually reliable sources are stating that a similar confession may be forthcoming from William Gates concerning the MS-DOS and Windows operating environments.

    you can't actually kill iis on a nt server.. even if you're logged in as administrator... it will barf soemthing like "balbla not allowed". A command line kill does exist, but you'll have to download something from MS (google said it's Windows NT Resource Kit)... the other way is, believe it or not:
    net stop "World Wide Web Pulishing Service"... this won't work however if IIS is trapped in an endless loop of some sort ...

    "We are unable to locate a single Web player that best matches your platform and operating system."
    Is there anyway to stop this?
