How can I crash an application ?

[christopher007]

Hi this may sound a bit of a mad request but I need to crash my PC. I writing ECDL manuals and need to get a screen shot of task manager with a non-responding application.

Anyone know a way of hanging a office app or could think of some VBA code that won’t cause the debugger to switch in and crash the app but not windows.

Thanks in advance.

I find that entering 10000 or so vlookup formulae into excel will make it hang


sub MakeItHang()

Range("A1:A10000&quot.formula = "=vlookup(B1,$F$1:$G$10000,2,false)"
application.calculate
end sub

Its ok ive got it just did this

1 goto 1

bit like the first basic i came across on my z80

10 print "Chris"
20 goto 10

I used to love that, so impresive
