Hi, does anyone know of a utility which can forcibly close any applications which hang while in fullscreen mode? Say I'm playing a game in fullscreen mode and it hangs on me, but the computer hasn't crashed and everything is still running in the background. But because the video has hung instead of completely crashed, I can't see anything when I press alt-tab. The hung application just stays on the screen and all I can do is hit my PC's reset button, since I can't see task manager when I open it, etc.

Is there an app which can handle this? I've had no luck with google :/
