Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc simultaneously to open the Task Manager. Click on More details to see the Task Manager in its full glory. By default, you'll be under the 'Processes' tab. Find the culprit in the list of running processes and select it. Then click End task towards the bottom right corner. This will end the whole process tree forIf it wouldn't reply, the task manager shows a dialog and terminates the program if you agree with its suspicion that the program has crashed. It does so by striking the crashed program from its list of tasks to complete, and by releasing all resources (memory, communication channels etc.) "held" by that program.
Try telling the Task Manager to always be on top. Open up the Task Manager before you start your application/game. Click "Options" ("Možnosti" in the picture below) Check "Always on top" ("Vždy navrchu" in the picture below) Next time you should be able to view it. Also try Alt-Tab-ing out of the app/game, so the focus is on something different.
