| | Re: Task manager problem From Help and Support: If Task Manager has been disabled, you can re-enable it if you have administrator privileges on the computer. To enable Task Manager on a computer running Windows Vista Home Basic or Windows Vista Home Premium This procedure requires you to edit the registry. An incorrect change to your computer's registry could render your computer inoperable. We strongly recommend that you back up the registry before making any changes. For more information, see Back up the registry. Click to open Registry Editor.? If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. Navigate to the following location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies Double-click System, double-click DisableTaskMgr, change Value data to 0, and then click OK. To enable task Manager on a computer running other editions of Windows Vista Click the Start button , type gpedit.msc in the search box, and then press ENTER. Under User Configuration, double-click Administrative Templates. Double-click System, and then click Crtl+Alt+Del Options. Double-click Remove Task Manager, click Disabled, and then click OK. Note If the Remove Task Manager properties appear dimmed, your network administrator has prevented you from changing these settings. Contact your network administrator to have Task Manager enabled. -- I Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS!

| | Re: Task manager problem found these things to try.... 1. try Control-Shift-Esc 2. Try running the System File Checker. This will make sure that all the files Windows needs are present and not corrupted. You can do this by clicking Start>Run and then typing: sfc /scannow then clicking OK. Make sure there is a space between 'sfc' and '/scannow'. You will need your Windows CD if any files need to be replaced. 3. Could be caused by a virus http://library-cafe.com/article/how-...rus-515-1.html 4.
