My computer is telling me that I cannot use the task manager by alt cntrl and delete. It says the computer adminisrator will not allow it. But, im on a home computer and i am set as the admin.. Any ideas? thanks
there u go this error is caused by restrictions placed in Registry. DisableTaskMgr value is set to 1. To enable Task Manager, try any of these methods: Resolution Method 1 Click Start, Run and type this command exactly as given below: (better - Copy and paste) REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_DWO Method 2 Download and run this REG fix and double-click it. http://windowsxp.mvps.org/reg/EnableTM.reg Method 3 * Open Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) and navigate to: HKCU \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies\ System * In the right-pane, double-click DisableTaskMgr and set it's data to 0 Method 4: Using Group Policy Editor - for Windows XP Professional * Click Start, Run, type gpedit.msc and click OK. * Navigate to this path User Configuration => Administrative Templates ==> System ===> Ctrl+Alt+Delete Options ====> Remove Task Manager * Double-click the Remove Task Manager option. * Set the policy to Not Configured.
Method 4: Using Group Policy Editor - for Windows XP Professional * Click Start, Run, type gpedit.msc and click OK. * Navigate to this path User Configuration => Administrative Templates ==> System ===> Ctrl+Alt+Delete Options ====> Remove Task Manager * Double-click the Remove Task Manager option. * Set the policy to Not Configured. I tried that and it was already not configured....
Try going into C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles and in the folder there should be a task manager icon which will open the manager then once open (if it dose) close it then try alt ctrl and delete. as i say let me know hove u got on.
that ok glad i can help but it might be worth downloading spybot search and Destroy (its free) and scaning the computer with that it sound like a bad case of spyware there is the site http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html
