Q: Is my system hung / frozen and I should do a hard reset (via power button), or could NTLite still be crunching away?
Background: Started an NTLite integration process at 12:15. System clock (lower right corner) is unchanged at 12:52. Current time is 13:38. Slipstreaming latest Windows Updates + all Dell drivers from a Dell Win 7 Pro x64 .cab driver bundle. Windows has become unresponsive. Mouse is responsive, but clicking on windows does not change focus to that window. ALT-TAB does not switch between windows. CTRL-SHIFT-ESC does not bring up the task manager window (which was running.) CTRL-ALT-DELETE does not bring up any windows.
Moving cursor over NTLite window shows spinning circle. NTLite window is partially obscured. Unable to bring it to the front.
