my daughters machine will not give me access to the task man it tells me the adminastrator has disabled this function. some info step by step to get this enabled again would be great as i do not feel like setting in front of her machine for hours till i get it fixed . if someone has time to assist maybe i could return a favor somehow - just let me no. thanks very much for any sugestions
you know often spyware disables the task manager, i think a freind of mine had the same message come up also, in his case it was spyware. http://www.ewido.net/en/download/ ewido will get rid of it if its spyware, also post a Hi jack this log here if ewido doent help you. if none of thoose help then we'll have to enable it another way, ive got a few more ideas
You can undo this easily by doing as follows :- (better - Copy and paste the bold portion only -- I Typed the command for you -- do not change anything in it ) Click Start, Run and paste this command exactly as given below: [bold] REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f[/bold] Then hit OK Have a great New Year <<< pssst... stay away from them sites .. >>>
