2. Write up a simple macro which checks if the app is running, if not it simply starts it up again..
(Not sure here, but it's not unlikely that You can do a more advanced check, like whether a registered app (hung or not) is responding)

3. Create a job which runs something like "%GroundControl%\gc.exe -r MyRestarterMacro.gc" every 5 minutes or whatever...
("%GroundControl%" = directory where G.C. was installed)

Mission completed
I love this shit, I'm a geek with this kind of stuff... (as much as my time & money allows it)
thanks man, I'm checking that out
