You mean you cannot do "end task" in the "Applications" tab of the Task 
Manager but you do "end process" in the "Processes" tab?

Have you tried killing the "Pd.exe" (or pd.com) process instead of the 
"wish" one? Wish is the gui. Usually killing any of them will cause the 
other one to die, but in this case I guess the frozen one is pd proper 
and (I guess again) it doesn't "realise" the wish process has been killed.
