Computer Problem..
Hi everyone, this is my first post and I hope it not to be my last. I've been reading through some of the posts but the shear number of them all is kinda overwhelming. I hope to learn much, much more about the ways of fully understanding my computer and all others. As of now, my computer has been mainly used for gaming... Yet, surfing the web has prooved to be hazardous. I'm not sure if this is just a virus or a minor glitch that appeared. Not certain of the exact date it started or if any of you can help me but here is my problem:
When I hit crt alt delete there is a message appears saying: "Task manager has been disabled by your administrator." Being that I am the only one who uses this computer and that I am the administrator I don't know how this happened. Could someone help me out? I have an E-Machines W2040 computer with Windows XP and I've run AVG and it has found nothing. If someone could tell me how to reactivate my task manager it would be most appreciated.
Thank you for you time.

Hi Godly Soup and welcome to AntiOnline.!
Anyhow this should hopefully help you with your problem.
Click Start, Run and type this command exactly as given below: (better - Copy and paste)
Code:
REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
I hope this helps you with your problem.
cheers

Which coder said that nobody could outcode Microsoft in their own OS? Write a bit and make a fortune!
