Try it in Safe Mode.
Restart and start tapping on the F8 key when the logo appears. This will
bring you to a black screen with a number of options. Select #3. The next
screen should be your desktop, but it will be either fuzzy or in a different
colour, which is Safe Mode. At this point, proceed with a Scan and/or
Defrag. Once finished, restart so that you return to Normal mode.
If for whatever reason that does not solve your problem, try a different
program by downloading either GeoDisk from
http://mvps.org/PracticallyNerded/Files/GEODisk.zip
or ScanDefrag from
http://www.blueorbsoft.com/scandefrag/
Both of these programs appear to manage the closing process of any open
programs.
Good Luck
