Could it be that during your "Thread.Sleep" call the Process terminated all by itself?

are you recieving the problem in "Process.Kill();"

Where does the error happen?

Don't you see that your Thread.Sleep(5000) waiting for who-knows-what and killing a proces is already a big flaw? The whole idea much be wrong, but first you should explain it.
Normally, processes should not be killed, in worst case, they should receive a signal to terminate and exit by themselves. Kill is an indication of unresolved problem solved in emergency style.

C#

Process[]  runingProcess= Process.GetProcesses();
             for (inti=0; i<runingProcess.Length; i++)
            { 
                 // compare equivalent process by their name
                 if(runingProcess[i].ProcessName=="mspaint")
                {
                     // kill  running process
                    runingProcess[i].Kill();
                }
