I can't get my Task Manager to come up. If I do ctl+alt+delete it tells me that it has been disabled.?

Probably a virus.

Try this.

Disabling Task Manager is one way viruses try to make it harder for you to deal with their infections. Before proceeding any further, you should run a complete and up-to-date anti-virus scan of your machine. It's possible, perhaps even likely, that you've been infected.

Click Start, then click Run and type in gpedit.msc:

And press OK. This runs the Group Policy Editor.

-Once in the Group Policy Editor, expand in turn:

--User Configuration

--Administrative Templates

--System

--Ctrl+Alt+Del Options

Double click on Remove Task Manager to change its setting:

It should be enough to click on Not Configured and then OK and Task Manager is available once again.

If you don't have Windows XP Pro, then you'll need to edit the registry manually.

Click Start, then click Run, type in regedit, and click on OK.

Expand these registry keys in turn:

--HKEY_CURRENT_USER

-- Software

--Microsoft

--Windows

--CurrentVersion

-- Policies

--System

Right Click on the DisableTaskMgr item

Click on Delete, confirm that you want to delete, and Task Manager should be available once again.

One thing to note is that it's quite possible that if you're in an environment managed by a centralized policy, these settings may have no effect. Your IT administrator may set things up so as to disable task manager, and other things as well at the domain level. You'll need to ask them if this is the case.

Mate, it sounds like your machine is infected with a virus/spyware/trojan/etc that has intentionally disabled the features of your task manager that would allow it (task mgr) to kill the malware process. Try to search, download, install & scan using the following: - Spybot Search & Destroy - Microsoft Defender - Grisoft antivirus/antispyware

Right click on the TASK BAR at the bottom of your screen, left click on Task Manager (WinXP). Check the "processes" that are running and you'll find tast_agent.exe.

go to startup and look if there file like svchost then delete it.

you can find the startup by clicking start , programs , startup.

unless you have a password to login to your computer your not a administrator. go to my computer then to control panel then user accounts. Go to your profile and make it password protected. Once done you will have to restart or choose not to. If this doesn't work then restart your computer and let it load back up on its own.
