I have an infinite loop that wont stop, I first just tried to close the window, but it didn't work, So I googled how to stop them. It said to press "pause/break". I did this but it didn't work...

i'm using visual basics express 2008.

In addition I can not even close the program because it says I have a dialog box open (the loop...).

what should I do??? My comp is beeping and it is super anoying!

well the problem is not the code, I can fix that :-)

The problem is that the program is running and I can not get it to stop because of the infinite loop.

Can't you kill the process through Task Manager?

If you had the program running through a debugger, you can usually press control+break and it will stop the program dead in its tracks at the next operation.

Next time that happens, right-click on the program in task manager and select "Go To Process". Then right-click on the highlighted process and select "End Process". I assume you're using XP and you tried to end the process by using the window, which just did nothing.
