How can I do the Task Manager run pressing Ctrl/alt/del? It says 'disabled by the administrator"how to activate this new?

I am running XP. I've always been able to use pressing the Ctrl/alt/del keys simultaneously to start Manager tasks - useful to close a task does not. Recently, I had some changes due to a virus problem and now when I use Ctrl/alt/del, I get a message saying "disabled by the administrator. I have Administrator status on my normal connection.

How can I activate the Setup again?... Thank you!

Hello

If you are familiar with editing the registry, navigate to this key and change the value of the 'DisableTaskMgr ' 0
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

http://computerquestionhelp.com/blogs/CTRL-ALT-Delete-Task-Manager-disabled-by-admin.html

Or you can download this zipfile to your desktop. This is a corrected policy there.
Unzip, then right-click, "VArestorepolicies.inf" and select "install".

As has already been suggested, it is also a Marti goo to scna the system to ensure that it is clean.

    Your system could be achieved a malware.

    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..

    Some malicious software is aware of the methods you're most likely to use to find and remove it (Task Manager, System Restore, command prompt, Internet, Google, etc.)

    The malware does not allows you to use things like the Task Manager to find and remove, so it prevents them from becoming a process running on the system and the process will not start or the process will be completed as soon as it is launched.

    The malware is happier when he let you think you need to use system restore, a repair install or reinstall your XP from scratch to fix your system when none of this is necessary.

    You can fool the malware (and then fix it).

    Assuming that your Windows is installed on your drive C, using Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder c:\windows\system32 and locate taskmgr.exe.

    Copy the taskmgr.exe file and rename the copy something malicious software will not recognize.  I like to call the copy:

    c:\windows\system32\jose.exe

    Double-click on jose.exe and see if the Windows Task Manager window opens now.

    The problem is the malware won't let the taskmgr.exe a running process, but he does not know jose.exe as a running process in order to thwart you all (I have a feeling that he will well a day on jose.exe).

    Will not 'fix' your task manager, but at least you will know whether or not the Task Manager mechanism works (taskmgr.exe still not start properly).  If you try to remove some malware and the need to use the Task Manager, you can simply launch jose.exe (double-click) instead, but will be still infected your system.

    Usually, there are a few other things that also don't work you would like to know later, so I recommend you do this:

    Reduce the risk of malware by running some scans.

    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/

    It can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    The scans by operating clean, restart, test your task manager and we can repair any other pending issues.

    If things look good, you can delete the c:\windows\system32\jose.exe file.

  • BOOTMGR is compressed. Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart__But when I do the same message appears and now my netbook won't start.

    I'm not a computer whizz and now I fear I can have made a big mistake when I thought I was doing something safe.

    So here's the story, I wanted to do a little more space on my drive hard because I don't have but a small memory netbook. After the usual cleaning disc and other things, I also saw a tick box option to compress all the files and folders on the c: / drive. I checked this box and everything was fine until I stop and it works even today.

    As soon as the first image - the HP logo disappears (with instructions following key below '= change Boot Device Order' and '= ' configuration Options of the BIOS) I get a black screen with the following script in the upper right:

    "BOOTMGR is compressed"... and below, «press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart»

    However, when I do restart, nothing chages and I come back to the same message over and over. I think its pretty obvious that my 'sting' autour potentially screwed up things good and clean and I would be very grateful if someone knows how to solve my problem and what to do. I tried to study the question, already and so far, I think I might have to reinstall windows, but when I bought this netbook, windows has been installed for me so I did not drive. I don't even have a hard drive anyway. I also read on the windows troubleshooting pages who put the pressing F8 repeatedly until 'start it again from the last record in the point' etc options but it did not work either... unless I'm doing it wrong.

    I hope I gave enough information above so that someone is able to help. Thank you for your time and I'll look forward all the answers and I hope that the answer.

    This is a popular problem with computers HP they have written an article about this (in other words, what happens often):

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&DocName=c01872275

    Compression is not a bad thing, but in the world where the disk storage is cheap usually not worth - you just buy more storage or maintenance disk Dome (remove things).  Compression can actually slow down the performance of your system too.  I think it's just sort of a vestige of the old days and can have negative consequences today.

    Using the HP article, you can repair your system in seconds after getting into the Recovery Console.

    There is a similar problem with systems not HP where the ntldr file may get compressed and solve it is a little different, but the concept is the same and only takes a few seconds to fix.

    You will not engage in any kind of Mode safe either.

    Enter the Recovery Console may be the biggest challenge.

    You have a genuine XP bootable installation CD?  This is not the same as any type of System Recovery CD which might come with your system.  If you do not, you will need to make a bootable CD from Recovery Console by using a system of work - or physically move your HARD drive to a system that works, repair and put back.

    Your system model number not specified there a CD player?

  • "BOOTMGR is missing press ctrl + alt + del to restart" with this disc with recovery vista on it, but it still does not work. It could be the type of disc or something! NEED HELP PLEASE!

    Hello

    Just the message keeps coming and coming. so I did what all seemed to be telling me to do, I downloaded this 'Windows Vista 32 - Bit (x 86) Torrent recovery disk' on a disk and put it in my computer, restarted and is come up with the same message, I thought I might need it again. So I did, Bam, same message. It might be the disk or something as I said, but I don't know! Its really annoying me now, please help!

    Oh and I do not computer language can you please make it simple for me...

    Thank you!!

    Here is the download of recovery for Vista instead of Windows7 drive: http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/.  The thing is, I'm not sure you can use this drive for a boot recovery - you need an Installation of Vista disc.

    If you can get your hands on an Installation of Windows Vista genuine disc, then here are some procedures to fix the BOOTMGR missing (you can try repair system with the Neosmart disk but honestly, I don't think that will work - you need to do the other procedure):

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ·        Do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

    If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

    If this does not resolve the problem, try the following:

    To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. put the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.

    2. press a key when you are prompted.

    3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

    4. click on repair your computer.

    5. click on the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.

    6. in the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.

    7. type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

    Note If rebuilding the BCD does not resolve the startup problem, you can export and delete the BCD, and then run this option again. In doing so, you ensure that the BCD is completely rebuilt. To do this, type the following commands at the command prompt Windows RE:

    ·        bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup

    ·        c:

    ·        Boot CD

    ·        BCD attrib s h - r

    ·        Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old

    ·        Bootrec /RebuildBcd

    Good luck and I hope this helps!

    Hi THOBO90,

    1. When did you start to question?

    This problem may occur if the MFT root folder is very fragmented. If the MFT root folder contains many files, the MFT might become fragmented to an additional allocation index is created.

    Try the following steps to resolve the problem:

    Step 1:

    Boot with the Windows XP CD in Recovery Console.

    b. Copy NTLDR and NTDETECT.COM on C: drive i386 folder.

    c. attempts to boot to the desktop.

    If not able, follow these steps.

    Step 2:

    In Recovery Console, run 8 following commands (press ENTER after each line):

    a. CD of the

    b. ATTRIB C:\boot.ini h

    c. ATTRIB C:\boot.ini-s

    d. ODILE r C:\boot.ini

    e. del boot.ini

    f. BOOTCFG /Rebuild

    g. Add to the startup folder

    Step 3:

    If you can start Windows, but get a message saying that the boot.ini file is not valid.

    a.Create a new boot.ini in Notepad and saved on the hard drive.

    EXAMPLE:

    [boot loader]

    timeout = 30 default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS

    [operating systems]

    "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Edition family.

  • 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.

  • 'system' process in the Task Manager running @ 50 to 100%

    Just reinstalled xp family and for some reason, the 'system' process in the Task Manager runs 100% gel about the custom of all the system let me download updates update freezes keyboard and touch pad and wont stop. tried to reinstall it 4 times same thing every time

    You need to find the specific system process that takes all (there are a lot of threads related to the 'System' process) of the CPU resources and slow down your PC.

    To do this Process Explorer, try:
    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653.aspx
    SysInternals Forums: http://forum.sysinternals.com/

    Worth reading: the process system CPU spikes
    http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/archive/2008/04/07/3031251.aspx

    Once you have Process Explorer installed and running:
    In the task bar, select view and check 'show process Tree.
    as well as the options 'display the lower pane '.
    Move the cursor of your mouse over any column in the right pane and
    Make a right click and check the following boxes:
    "Command line" and "Version".
    (This will provide some of the detailed information you need)

    Then click on the CPU column to sort processes by CPU usage %.
    Then click on extend the process 'System' or 'Explorer' to expand and identify the specific subprocess using most or all the resources.
    Then click the sub-process or process listed under the system process that is using most or all the CPU %.
    Once the process or subprocess is highlighted, do a right click and select the options listed: online search. This should bring that out there on the web about this process.

    Note: some entries as solution, System (as explained above) process Explorer and svchost entries can should be extended to view details (sup process), in this case click on the + to the left of the entrance.

    Restart in safe mode and run the antivirus scans here. You have symptoms of an infected machine. Scanning in safe mode will reduce efforts of the virus to avoid detection.

    To restart in safe mode, restart normally, and when the system resets you can press the F8 key. It is point immediately after the screen logo POST or manufacturer initial of the system, and just before Windows starts to load. This will give you a boot menu where you can choose Safe mode.

    While you're here, you must also download and run the tool free malwarebytes here:http://www.malwarebytes.org/ (choose Safe mode with networking to do this). He can catch something that lack of MSE, no security tool is perfect.
