Depending on the kind of hang, killing VFP with task manager should

suffice, but if in the process of hanging you add a bad programming

practices, bad or no garbage collection, bad use of PC resources and

intermitent hangings that can corrupt RAM, then power off/on is the final

solution.

We have a legacy application on Production, with +20 years of bad

modifications that slowly consumes Server resources and do not restore

them, even if restarting the app, so every week we need to reset de Server

:-(
