• When I used to hit ctrl, ALT, delete, Task Manager appears. Now, just the screen CPU usage. How can I get that back for the bigger task manager, which, the CPU usage was a tab to the breast? Thank you.

  The Task Manager is now just 'CPU' because I must have hit something wrong.  I was hoping just to click on the tab use the CPU in the Task Manager, now somehow when I hit CTRL, remove alt. it shows only the CPU usage graph.

• have to use Ctrl alt delete to free gel

  I am running Vista on a PC that blocking costs one time office, which is released easily using Ctrl alt delete, but often then freezes when changing windows or starting an application like FireFox, or get into a game, all can be released easily using Ctrl alt del which shows me that the problem is not a minor.

• Why don't I have to use Ctrl + Alt + Delete to use my computer?

  My PC starts directly from the windows 7 desktop.  How ever I can not click on the Start button.  If I open a desktop application I can't click any function on it once it is open.

  To have access to my PC, I have to Ctrl-Alt-Delete.  So I have to left click anywhere on the screen (not any text or button).  Then I can click on the Cancel button.  Once I did, I can use my programs as usual.  I have to do this every time I start my PC.  This problem exists from the outset, even though I have repeatedly re-installed Win 7 as a 32-bit and a 64 bit OS.  Since the first office sometimes.
  I have also not drag and drop functionality.  I can't drag my around my office desktop icons, for example in the trash.  This was not always the case and it takes place after the service of some or other update.  I spent this morning of uninstallation of updates as much as possible, until finally after a reboot, I could drag and drop from the desktop icons.
  A program that was unaffected by the problem of drag / move is iTunes.  I can drag tracks/albums from iTunes to a windows Explorer folder, but not a file Explorer windows to another.  I have to use the dialog box copy - paste on the right click of the mouse.
  What this problem is, it also affects Google Chrome by preventing the features left click on any of the control buttons.  By clicking a new tab, close...
  I'd appreciate a lot any input on that.
  My best regards,
  Duncan

  Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and start safe mode.  Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan mode without failure.  To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode.  Then run a complete system scan.

  If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem.  To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore.  Click on the box that says show more restore points.
  -
  You can check the corrupted system files.  Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE, then click on run as administrator. Then from the command prompt, type sfc/scannow.
  -
  Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log.  To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools.  Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.
  `
  When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and it puts regular periodic updates.

• I can't get the full window with tabs, or other controls. I have to use Ctrl-alt-delete to close the window.

  After loading on KnightNews link, all the stuff missing header - box of Firefox, minimize button, remove the button and the only way out of the KnightNews was Ctrl-alt-delete. I now find that any time I use Firefox, I have the same problem. I deleted the program, reinstalled, did a restore of the system, all to nothing does not. When I click on Firefox to open it, the full window appears briefly, then the whole screen is filled with the opening page Firefox. By clicking on a program in the historic area brings up, but it's the same scenario - Ctrl-alt-delete is the only way out. I also was not able to open the troubleshooting information that was below on this page.

• Recent Ms update causes of lag when you use win + L, alt + tab to switch apps or ctrl + alt + delete

  Lately, we updates Microsoft has introduced some lag in my system.  I did a restore of last week, the 10th and it was fixed, and the last round of updates automatic introduced the problem again.  Basically, here's the question: when I hit win - L to lock the machine, I get a good 10-20 second delay before it crashes, even with nothing running.  Same with ctrl-alt-delete, or when I alt - tab to go a game of running a browser open.  Now I realize that some of them are more intensive applications in resources, but I could do all these things before the updates almost instantly.  I don't know what are those who have caused the it.  Has anyone else seen elsewhere?

  For the record, I use Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit on a Core2Duo built home 3 GHz with 8gigs of ram box.  GeForce 8800 GTX w / 768 MB of ram at 1600 x 1200 on the screen.  So go to a window of the Explorer browser should not really be a problem.

  It is a new installation of 64-bit, and Security Essentials is the only anti - anything produced, I had about it.  In fact, to my embarrassment, I fixed the problem shortly after the announcement of my question.  I did a full system scan, it finds a couple of trojan files (probably my uh...) "inprivate browsing"). "  After their withdrawal, I once more lock the system instantly, immediately pull the Task Manager and change fast application.

  Thanks for the tips.  I would normally uninstall updates one at a time, but I was looking forward to kind of and thought that I would use a shotgun instead of a scalpel.

• Ctrl + alt + delete: instead of a menu of auto start Task Manager?

  I was wondering how to do ctrl + alt + del open Manager tasks immediately instead of a menu to open upwards and then having to choose the Task Manager.

  Thank you.

  Hi Brian.

  It seems to me that you have disabled the Welcome screen at first upward.  You can check this by going to the "Start" menu and then go to 'Control Panel'.  Click on "User accounts" and then click on the option "Change the way users log on and outside."  You should now see two options.  The first is "Use welcome screen" and, with your current explanation, that has a checkbox that is empty.  Click the checkbox to enable the Welcome screen, then exit to the desktop, and then restart your machine.  After reboot, you should then see the Welcome screen with a list of all users. (If more than one.)  Sign in and then try Ctrl + Alt + Delete.  The task manager should now appear.

  If you think that my answers are useful please vote and mark as a possible answer. Thank you.

  I used to be able to press CTRL + ALT + DELETE when my PC has pick up in a program.

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  If your system is at a standstill and you must use the Task Manager to kill a process, it is not normal and your system has a problem that you can solve.

  If your task manager has been disabled (unless you have disabled it on purpose), then you certainly have another problem to accompany your first problem.

  The usual advice along the lines of "something has been disabled in Group Policy" and that's probably true, but if you are using XP Home, is not Group Policy Editor in XP Home and which is not really you tell where to look in group policy, even if you run the Group Policy Editor.   You need to know how to fix it.

  Here is a complete solution that works for all versions of XP and requires no hunting around to find where things have been disabled in the Group Policy Editor.  If you happened to have documentation for Group Policy registry locations, there is no hunting, but most people don't have documentation.

  Unless you have disabled these tools on purpose, chances are good that your system has a malware infection.  The malware knows what tools you use to try to find and remove, for the malware disables the things you are more likely to consume and prevents them from running if you can't find it.

  All malicious software tools you currently use or have used failed to protect your system.

  The malware will be happy you trick into thinking that you need to so something drastic to fix your system - as a facility repair, system restore point or a total reinstallation of XP.  This is what it would be like you, but these measures are not necessary.

  You must solve the immediate problem of the tools does not, then scan your system for malware when you are finished.

  No matter what kind of malware you've used analytical tools, they are unlikely to solve this problem, because they cannot tell if the changes made to your system have been on purpose (you or an administrator who makes them) or some malware changed them, so the analysis tools will let these things alone (it's usually a good thing).

  If your task manager is afflicted in this way, there are probably other things that also do not work - like the registry editor, System Restore and the command prompt, so fix them all at once even if you have not discovered they are broken again.

  These commands from registry removes the registry entries that are stop opening programs.  Although the registry entries do not exist, these commands are safe to run.

  Before making any changes to your registry, back up the registry with this free and popular tool:

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html

  Open Notepad to create a new text file:

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  notebook

  Click OK to open a new Notepad file.

  Copy and paste the following lines of text into the new Notepad file.

  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
  "DisableTaskMgr" = -.
  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
  "DisableRegistryTools" = -.
  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]
  "DisableCMD" = -.
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem\\\]
  "DisableTaskMgr" = -.
  [HKEY_USERS\.default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
  "DisableTaskMgr" = -.
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
  "DisableCAD" = DWORD: 00000000
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\SystemRestore]
  "DisableConfig" = -.
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\SystemRestore]
  "DisableSR" = -.
  

  Save the new text file with extension .reg on your desktop or somewhere you can remember with a name you can remember, something like:

  enableit.reg

  After you save the file, close Notepad.

  Locate the file enableit.reg on your desktop and double-click it.

  Alternatively, you can right-click on the enableit.reg file, choose open with... and select the registry editor.

  Answer in the affirmative to the question... Are you sure you want to add the information in the registry?

  You should then see a message that information has been registered in the register.

  If the registry editor has also been disabled, you will not be able to run registry changes to fix the rest of the problems, then you must first activate the command registry editor run.  Even if the registry editor is not broken, these commands are safe to run.

  Click Start, run and enter in the box (copy/paste would be safer) the following text:

  Tracking Add HKCU/v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0

  Click OK and answer Yes, if you are prompted with a message of crash.

  Click Start, run and enter in the box (copy/paste would be safer) the following text:

  Tracking Add HKLM/v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0

  Click OK and answer Yes, if you are prompted with a message of crash.

  Now that the registry editor has been enabled, you can run the enableit.reg file to troubleshoot issues.

  Depending on the circumstances, your tools can work right away, but go ahead to avoid the question "did you restart your system?" later, and restart your system at the time of trial to be sure things work again.

  Allow the tools in this way only solves the symptom of malware infection, but does not solve the real problem (the system is currently or has been infected by malware) so you're not quite done yet - your system might still be infected.

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems.

  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  You can also delete the enableit.reg file when you are finished.

  Do, or do not. There is no test.

  ===========================================

  Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods
  above is preferred so that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are
  found)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.
