marc_howarth · 25 Apr 2006 at 21:52

does right clicking on the taskbar and clicking task manager do anything??

Beansprout · 25 Apr 2006 at 21:52

Less than an hour and you're getting impatient?

Google Spyware removal.

Pyrosoft · 25 Apr 2006 at 23:14

click on Start > Run and type in "taskmgr"
See if that does anything.

If so then check and make sure that all 3 keys actually work when you press one at a time. Might be a hardware problem...

Do other Windows shortcuts work?
Like Winkey + E to open Explorer?

Try removing the keyboard from device manager and rebooting.

Just a few ideas for ye

err yea everything else works wen u put "taskmgr" in run it says its being used or busy WTF ???? :confused:

Click start, then run. In the run window type "iexplore.exe" (without the quotes) and once Internet Explorer comes up type "http://tinyurl.com/1o62" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Copy + Paste the original post into the box and click "Check text!" - should fix your problem just lovely

PS. On a more serious note, give your computer a reboot and run a spyware checker.

Just what exactly is your problem, people try to help and all you do is 'spout' off :rolleyes:

gamer98 · 27 Apr 2006 at 16:54

not realy i said the prob is it does not work, no i do not have any spyware, lol soz i was in a bad mood :rolleyes:

Pyrosoft · 27 Apr 2006 at 17:16

Check the registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
For the key DisableTaskMgr and make sure it is set to 0 (zero).

Does shift+ctrl+del work at all?

gamer98 · 27 Apr 2006 at 17:26

hi thnx 4 the help but how do you look at the registry ?? no i cant get task manager at all :confused:

Pyrosoft · 27 Apr 2006 at 17:33

Start > Run > "regedit"

Then just navagate to the location above.

Also check and make sure that you do have a file called taskmgr.exe in c:\windows\system32

If that doesnt work, you dont have a virus, spyware, etc etc
then I'd suggest a rebuild is in order.

gamer98 · 27 Apr 2006 at 17:48

hi there this is the other prob i cant run any thing like "regedit" it says somthing see pic ???? :confused:

Its spyware..google ctrl/alt/delete disabled.

Mortah · 27 Apr 2006 at 17:52

have you run a spyware checker? Spybot search & destroy?

Try helping yourself by running that and then maybe people will be able to suggest other things!

Broon · 27 Apr 2006 at 17:53

Looks and sounds like spyware.

Try start run "msconfig" and choose diagnostic startup. When you restart you should be able to check the registry. Also when in msconfig have a look under the startup tab for anything that shouldn't be there.

gamer98 · 27 Apr 2006 at 18:22

i have said iv run checks no spyware thnx 4 the help trying now

Security Task Manager

its spyware, or a virus that's disabled your xp task manager. It doesnt disable security task manager though

also, download HiJackThis! and paste the results here for us to read. Also helps if you speak english.

ok im kidding on the last part.
