Igor,

Try installing the PSTOOLS package from
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pstools.shtml.

PSKILL (part of pstools) will kill virtually any process, including
LocalSystem processes, given enough (local administrator) rights. Of course
you can also try stopping the service in the ControlPanel (Administrative
Tools|Services, right click on NAV). Here's where you would restart it.

Dan
