When you are desperate to close a program or browser you can go to "task manager" and highlight the offending program, then click the "end task" button.
Task Manager can be found by right clicking on the clock/time in the bottom corner of the screen.
This would be a temporary answer.

My damn screen keeps locking up when I'm on RHP (and rarely on other sites); is there a simple command to close the window?
I expect lame jokes for the next 5 posts - then an actual answer would be nice.
Tell the admins your problem, tell them the browser and version you use.
Threaten legal action if they won't help you.
Have fun!

I would actually investigate the cause of the problem. Have you swept your computer for badware/spyware/viruses? This is not one of those sites that look like a ping pong machine fully laden with flash that could bring any computer to its knees.

It could also be the browser cache as well as firefox using to much ram. Fire fox is great but it is a memory hog. Might want to minimize your extensions if you use firefox. All the other suggestions are good to.

Control +alt +Delete pulls up the Task manager also.
This is a good tool: http://www.iobit.com/advancedwindowscareper.html
It's kind of a tune up tool, all in one. I use it every day before I open my browser. Keeps everything polished up, and running smooth. I highly recommend it.
You can thank me latter.
