I frequently have this problem under WinXP as well. Alt+, and Alt+. frequently do not stop iterations. The more badly I want to stop them, the more difficult. When keystrokes fail, I sometimes use the menus: Kernel>Interrupt Evaluation or Kernel>Abort Evaluation. More often, that doesn't work either, and I quit with Kernel>Quit Kernel. But that fails often enough, too -- when the system is so busy the Frontend menus don't respond. It would be nice to see this problem fixed, and it really shouldn't be THAT difficult.
