• MS can add two functions to the "Task Manager"?

  I want a quick way to remove unwanted programs from my computer (XP Pro);
  What I think is the fastest and easiest way to remove programs that collide,
  marketing of spyware and other items I don't want: press 'Ctrl-Alt-Del ".
  and use the 'Task Manager' program; but, with a new option in "Applications":

  I should be able to "end program and delete. This new function ("end of program and remove")

  stop the program to run as the program "ends".
  function and it would also remove the program from your computer; same thing for
  the window of 'process '.

  There are tracking as "The ADService.exe" software that
  I also want to 'End the process' and 'Delete' and 'Block' to be ever
  installed again.  The 'Task Manager' would be a simple and great place
  to add these functions. The function 'Block' is also a new feature for "Task Manager."

• Whole computer freezes randomly. Browser hangs and then all websites load - Ctrl + Alt + Del then freezes

  This started happening yesterday for no reason. I start my PC, and everything loads very well. I then start my browser and after a few minutes of random browsing, the browser hangs and then it grey out and I get the thing "program not responding", but then I try ctrl alt delete to start the Task Manager to end, but it is not pop up. It takes literally like 10 minutes until that browser reactivates and then I can use ctrl alt del and terminate. Then I'm going to restart the browser and does not pop up. I constantly double click on it and he then decided to work a few minutes later, resulting in many browsers to launch at the same time.

  Sometimes when I'm not so lucky, the browser hangs and after awhile THE ENTIRE COMPUTER crashes and I have no choice but to hold the button to restart.
  I restarted in safe mode and it works quite well after that.
  I ran Malware Bytes and Norton and found nothing harmful to the computer. I also ran another virus scanner, I found on another forum (that they recommended) do not remember the name because I uninstalled it (don't like many antivirus installed at the same time), but it came back with nothing either. I have scanned even in safe mode - nothing.
  He has recently started to happen and I have nothing for this. The only thing abnormal I remember to do is to have to restart the computer by holding down the button when a game has crashed, and then when he asked me if I wanted to run windowed Windows or not, I assumed that the background choice was to function normally because that's what he's always been, but I chose something else and did not notice. It's a blank screen for a few minutes then loading started wondering if it was the start for the first time. I don't know what was going on so I held the button again and run Windows normally and he began to do this, but I really didn't know anything about him.
  Also want to add that the internet does not work until it thaws

• How to recover windows files option tool and activate the Task Manager?

  I used windows xp, Service Pack 3... I can't use the tool option records because it is not displayed in the Tools menu and option when I press ctrl + alt + delete, then said the task manager has been disable by your administrator... and my standard buttons search option does not work...

  It's a shame that we know so little on your system, windows xp, Service Pack 3...

  This is because the forums MS Answers does not prompt for information, when a new question is asked.

  Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

  Your system has or has had a malware infection.

  Whatever not specified antivirus/antimalware software or you use requests have failed to protect your system.  Remember to replace or supplement / them.

  I would follow this diet to relieve your symptoms, immediate and then followed with some free and respectable malware scanners.

  Both scanners by operating clean, it would be time to fix any problems.

  Part 1:

  If you see things like this:

  You do not have sufficient security privileges to restore your system.
  The System Restore tab is missing from the my computer properties.
  System Restore has been disabled by group policy.  To turn on system restore, contact your domain administrator.
  The System Restore tab is available, but the turn off System Restore (disabled by Group Policy) box is grayed out.
  The task manager has been disabled by your system administrator.
  The registry editor has been disabled by your system administrator.
  The task manager has been disabled by group policy.
  The registry editor has been disabled by group policy.
  The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator.  Press a key to continue...
  The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.  Please contact your system administrator.
  The "Run" option is missing from the start menu.
  The option "Log off."... ' is missing from the Start Menu.

  The usual advice are something in the sense of "something has been disabled in the group policy...". ", and it is probably true that something has been disabled, but you know what something is and what it takes to do about it.

  If you are using XP Home Edition, you will get away with advice to use the Group Policy Editor, because there is no Group Policy Editor in XP Home and that really doesn't tell you where to look in group policy, even if you run the Group Policy Editor.

  You need a complete solution that works for all versions of XP and requires no hunting around in the Group Policy Editor or registry to find where things are that have been disabled.

  Unless you have disabled these things 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 the malware and remove it.

  If your system has this kind of affliction, all malicious software tools you currently use or have used failed to protect your system so that you can expand your horizons malware detection and prevention to prevent these kinds of afflictions in the first place.

  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 system 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 and will work for all versions of XP.

  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\\\]

  [HKEY_USERS\.default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
  "DisableCAD" = DWORD: 00000000

  "NoClose" = -.
  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
  "NoSetTaskbar" = -.

  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.

  Reboot your system and test.

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

  If the registry editor has also been disabled, we first fix (not a problem).

  Part 2:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  Restart and fix any problems.

• CTRL-Alt-Del give Task Manager vs Windows Security

  In the Windows XP computer, Ctrl-Alt-Delete displays the Windows security group, I can quickly and conveniently lock it the screen.  On another Windows XP computer, it brings up the Task Manager.  Bleah.  How can I change so that I get the Windows Security Committee?

  IIRC, the difference in behavior for CTRL + ALT + DELETE depends on whether you have the screen of welcome (and with fast user switching).

  You can also use Windows key + L to lock the computer.

  See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/281980

• the Task Manager displays only the CPU resource monitor

  Using Ctrl-Alt-Del to bring up the Task Manager appears a little CPU resource monitor.

  .

  Can I fix without reinstalling Windows? Or should I just wait for Windows 8?

  Hello. Try to double-click the gray area (frame) in the resource monitor. Who could return to the version complete.

• The Task Manager does not appear, nothing happens when you select it

  It is very difficult to get help. Now, I'm not sure if this is the right forum and place to be. I need help to get the Task Manager which has disappeared from my computer. I click right on the taskbar, and then click on task manager and nothing appeared. Please advise on how to find him.

  Hi disillusionedvery,

  If you're not, try to login as an administrator and see if that makes a difference.  If so, we still have a problem, but at least we know the Task Manager is here.  If you have any other user accounts on the computer, try connecting them and see if they all have the same problem or if it is limited to one account.  Your profile may be damaged and if this is the case, post back and I will provide procedures about how to fix it.

  Try pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL all at the same time and click Task Manager on the screen that appear and see if it works to access the Task Manager.

  If this does not work, let's try the following:

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

  , Type sfc/scannow go and let it run.  It will scan and try to the difficulty of some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.

  While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  They tried to set itself to run at the next reboot.   Answer Yes and restart to run the program.  It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.

  If it does not, then thanks for posting error messages in the event viewer on the Task Manager (Start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer).  Look in the system section.

  If this does not work, try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem.   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.

  Start in safe mode with network and see if the problem is here.  A result allows us to narrow down the search for the cause.

  Do you know when this problem started?  If it has been reasonably recent, try a restore of the system to a point in time BEFORE the problem started. If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.

  If this does not work, you may be infected with malware.  Update and run a scan complete with any security software you use.  Then, try the following programs if you do not, because they can help. I recommend you download, install, update and run full scans with Malwarebytes:http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and SuperAntiSpyware:http://superantispyware.com/ and then run a full scan of Microsoft Security:http://www.microsoft.com/security/default.aspx.  If you find something, especially something you can't delete, then after return.

  That's enough for now.  One of these procedures will be hopefully resolved or at least identify the problem.  If this isn't the case, please post back with the answers to the above questions, results of the tests and procedures that you did (including copies of errors if any found), your version of Windows (for example, 32-bit Vista Business SP2) and anything else that you think may be useful.  We will then decide where to go was from there, armed with more information and know what and did not work.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Can not unlock screen - CTRL ALT DEL is unresponsive

  Hello

  Whenever the screen locks automatically - after a period of inactivity - the user is prompted to press CTRL ALT DEL to unlock the screen. However, these same keys 3 is completely insensitive (nothing happens). This system has not frozen, as the isl user able to move the cursor on the screen.

  Trying to hook up an external keyboard, no difference.

  When Windows starts, the user is prompted to press CTRL ALT DEL to unlock the screen before entering their password - it works.
  Once Windows has connected, the user can press CTRL ALT DEL at any time to bring up the Windows security box - it works.
  If the user blocks their computer manually, they can again press CTRL ALT DEL to unlock it, enter their credentials and continue to work - it works.

  However, when the screen is locked automatically after pressing CTRL ALT DEL inactivity does nothing.

  Any ideas how I can fix this?

  Thanks in advance guys.
