What is a 'hard reset'?


When you have to power off your PC because it doesn't respond to
keyboard or mouse input.



The only issue I've ever encountered using Vista or Win 7 is an
occasional program "not responding". Usually it will clear itself if
you have patience.

If it doesn't in a reasonable period of time, I just open "Task Manager"
(Ctr, alt, delete, then click on Task Manager), look for the
non-responding application and close it manually by selecting "End
Task". Application closes and can then be re-opened. No hard reset
required.
