windows task manager

[CinciDave]

Debbie, you and I have the same problem (see my post
@10:54AM, just above yours). I have been struggling with
this for almost a week. I suggest that you scan with the
latest updates McAfee/Norton, etc. to be sure that your
system is virus/worm free. You can substitute the
emergency files for the originals as suggested by Ramesh.
They seem to work ok, just be sure to note the path and
name changes. Chris Lanier made the same recommendations
to me earlier. I have had no luck with any of these
approaches, but will continue to look for an answer. If I
succeed, I will email you...........Good
Luck. ........CinciDave

See www.dougknox.com, Win XP Utilities section for Startup Programs Tracker.
This small utility scans your system for startup programs and running
processes. It also allows you to create a log file that can be copied and
pasted into a newsgroup post. The contents of the program window are also
copied to the Windows Clipboard, automatically.

Post the contents of the Log file in a reply, and we may be able to help you
pinpoint the virus.
