Ctrl+Alt+Del won't bring up Windows Security box
Hi, I bought an eMachine a couple of weeks ago. It has
Windows XP on it. I noticed yesterday that Ctrl+Alt+Del will not bring up the Windows Security box or Task Manager. Is there a setting I need to change or is something wrong with the software? Thanks!

Ctrl+Alt+Del won't bring up Windows Security box
thanks, I'll try this when I get home. But, from what
I've read, if my task manager was disabled, I would be getting a pop-up error message saying that the adminstrator has disable it or something like that. I'm not getting that error. Ctrl+Alt+Del just doesn't do anything. No Windows Security or Task Manager. But, no error message either. -----Original Message----- Enable or Disable Task Manager for the Current User http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_taskmgrenab.htm [Courtesy of MS-MVP Doug Knox] Visit http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_t.htm and scroll down to the topic titled "Task Manager - Control/Alt/Delete - Doesn't Work" [Courtesy of MS-MVP Kelly Theriot] -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows XP - Shell/User Be Smart!

Ctrl+Alt+Del won't bring up Windows Security box
It doesn't appear that anything happens. It doesn't pop-
up and then go away quickly. I did a couple of virus scan and updates and no viruses were found. I'll try typing that taskmgr in Start-Run later when I get home and see what that does. Thanks for your help! -----Original Message----- Are you sure nothing happens? They don't start then close straight away.

Ctrl+Alt+Del won't bring up Windows Security box
okay, typing taskmgr in the run line works. Also,
regedit and msconfig work. But, for some reason, the Ctrl+Alt+Del shorcut is disabled. Maybe not a big issue, just annoying. Is there another way I can get to the Windows Security box other than Ctrl+Alt+Del? -----Original Message----- Post back what happens.
