Window Task Manager doesn't come up
| General Software Discuss, Window Task Manager doesn't come up at Software forum; I don't know when this started to happen, but today I was trying to ctrl+alt+del to close a program forcefully (BitSpirit), the Windows Task Manager doesn't even come up. I restarted, it's the same. Is there any other way to make the task manager come up? Thanks. |

| sounds like a trojan or something similar which is trying to hide... try a 3rd party taskmanager, e.g. the one from TuneUp Utilities 2006 ( http://www.tune-up.com/ ). |
| I can use TuneUp utilities to bring up the task manager now, thanks. |
| well, this didn't solve the problem. if windows task-manager does not appear, your system has another problem. try a good anti-virus + spyware scanner as Spybot Search & Destroy + AdAware |
| I'll try it later. I have no anti-virus on this comp right now. Thanks for the help. |
| Besides using Ctrl + Alt + Del, the task manager can be called by opening Run dialog (Start -> Run), typing "taskmgr" and pressing Enter.

| Just downloaded AVG antivirus, it's doing a complete system scan now. |
| i've had a few worms that will close regedit, task manager, sometimes even control panel stuff whenever its brought up. you should boot to safe mode or (even better) from a live cd like bartpe or ubcd4win and remove the registery entries for startup, as well as clean the pc.
