If it absolutely, positively has to run.

NEVER use any version of windows

try a UNIX Based OS.

You can try to search for the job running, kill it (if found) and then restart it. Sort of the equivalent of kill -9 scriptname and then relaunching on a unix platform.

Try Ctrl + Shift + Tab and you'll see the running programs.

Well.. if it crashes completely and leaves no remnant of itself (like an application-titled window), then here's what I suggest:

1. Go to http://www.acrasoft.com/ and pick up a license of GroundControl (cheap)

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)

as far as i remember it is possible in nncron. You can set up a task and tell it to run only if a specific process exists / doesn't exist. Haven't touched it for some 2 years though

Why dont you turn the application into a NT Service?? that restarts the app when it goes down
