Cant force quit, cause it's only half running or something?!

I've had eyeTV open in the background for a few days now (no shut down or sleep) and when I tried to use it again, it had crashed. No problem I thought, force quit. Didn't work.
The windows all closed, but the dock triangle hasn't gone, and it isn't showing up in activity monitor.
I've tried force quitting a few times, and given it plenty time to do it. If I click on the dock icon, the front window loses focus, but the application menu stays as Safari, for example.

I read about using the "top" command in terminal to get a list of all running processes (although this should be identical to activity monitor?) but for some reason I can't scroll down the list in terminal? If I drag the window bigger I can see more of the list, but not enough to see it all and I just cant scroll down😕 so I can't see the PID number, but I could get it from activity monitor... if it was in the list...😕

I dont want to restart cause I have stuff running thats been working for a while, but I'd like to watch TV while its working 🙁

I tried what you said , JackRipper, and terminal returned "12042 ?? E 0:00.00 (EyeTV)", which I assume means it wasnt found as a process? The same way it doesn't show in Activity Monitor.

What?! You mean I have to restart a Mac every so often?! Gosh, you'd think I was using a PC or something 😱

Well, it's been working hard 5 days and 6 hours so far, and apart from this not had a single problem 🙂 but maybe it is time for a restart lol

Well, I can scroll, just not down past the bottom of the window. The results of 'top' fill the window and no more, if I resize the window the results adjust to show more or less. If I scroll up, I can scroll down, but not past the bottom of the results.

I have had a few strange problems like this, such as a folder I just cant delete. Think I need a clean install, but I'm holding out for Leopard
