If you're running Win2K or XP, try right clicking on the taskbar.

If you're running Win95/98/ME, you're probably fucked unless you want to wait for your download to finish.

threads can be what you want them to be.
just click your heels twice.

I thought this thread was about webcomics when I first saw it too. *shrug*

Anyway, to the software tech stuff: If Media Player is frozen, odds are that the other program is still running in the background. If you remember the last time estimate, I'd wait double that long and then hit the restart button. If you have the file, great! If not, it can always be redownloaded.

OR

You can tell if another program is still active by using ALT-TAB. Holding the ALT key and repressing the TAB key will allow you to cycle through the available programs. If you aren't able to do this, odds are that your system is frozen. You can wait a little while at this point, but, more than likely, you'll have to restart.

Good luck, and I hope some of my random geekiness has helped.
