is there no solution??

Ctrl+Alt+Del does nothing on my computer. No task
manager, no windows security, nothing. Task manager is
enbabled because I can type taskmgr in the run bar and it
brings it up. Turning off the welcome screen won't help
because that just makes it to where you can bring up the
Windows Security box instead of Task Manager by hitting
ctrl+alt+del. My computer doesn't even bring up the task
manager by hitting ctrl+alt+del. There are no viruses on
my computer. have ran 3 different scans.

It may not be a big problem but I'm just worried that it
is a symptom of a bigger problem.

thanks!

Hello
It is possible that you are infected by a virus, if your virus scan
definitions are not update then it will not detect a virus.
There are virus' out there that prevent the Task Manager, IE Properties,
System Config. Utility,ect, ect.
Try some of these scans. (free)

The thing most people do not know is that after they buy a computer with
virus protection installed they have to go in and register and download the
updates and continue to update it or set it to auto update then after a
period of time the subscription will run out usually in 90-180 days at that
time they will have to purchase new protection either online or from a
retail store and at that time they will be able to update for a period of
365 days (1 year).

I've stayed current with my Norton anti-virus, Windows
updates, etc. I've even ran the McAffe program. Nothing
found. My task manager will work, just have to type
taskmgr in the run line. Must be a glitch in the
software of something.

thanks anyway!

let's pretend it's not a virus. Any other suggestions?
Besides turning off the welcome screen. Remember,
ctrl+alt+del is not even bringing up the task manager.

Hello
In that case I would suggest doing a repair install, you might have other
issues that have not come forward or that you have not found, doing a repair
install is easy and should not doing any damage to your existing personal
files, it is a good idea to backup all the important information just in
case.

To do a repair install you will need your XP cd (restore disks will not
work)

apparently, there is no solution. Everyone keeps saying
it's probably a virus. It's not. I keep up with my
updates and I routinely run virus checks.

Then, turn off the welcome screen, it's not that either.

If that was the problem, then at least ctrl+alt+del would
bring up the task manager. It won't. BUT, the task
manager does work. I just have to go about it a
different way (typing taskmgr in the RUN line).

I guess I'll reset all the factory setting and see what
that does.
