First go to the command line then type "tasklist | more" then push enter. Push enter to move thru until you get to another prompt. Make a note of which PID the second column over from the left.

Then type "taskkill /PID ####" replace the #### with the PID you made a note of in step one. Then push enter. This will kill the process.

I would suggest to do a test with Notepad first. Open up notepad the go to the command line and try the above steps. Make sure you have the right PID number or you will kill another program!
