Project Stuck in Compressor

I'm trying to crunch a project with compressor but something happened and it seems to have gotten stuck. It won't let me cancel it in the batch monitor - it just says "cancelling." I've tried quitting (it lets me quit the application no problem) and restarting the computer. When I submit a new project the old one shows up in the batch monitor still trying to compress and it won't compress anything else. I can't seem to get rid of it. Anyone have any ideas here?

I am having the same problem. I really just want to get it to stop and clear all the back logs and start afresh. It seems to make no difference when I hit cancel. Getting really frustrated by this as need to convert from PAL to NTSC and the last time it took 34 hours. I need to finish this job.

I've just had the same problem and finally after much searching online with very little definite info I did a couple of things.
Firstly I trashed the preferences for Compressor, Batch monitor and another one with compressor in the name. Then I restarted the computer resetting the pram (as soon as you push the on button press "apple, option, p, r".) Allow the computer start up to sound 3 times.
Then I went back to Compressor history and cancelled the jobs that I had inadvertantly lined up and they actually cancelled.
Pay no attention to what is happening in the batch monitor as it will follow suit when the history side is sorted.
I hope this helps anyone including yourself.
You can let me know if this works for you.
