my task manager seems to have disappeared? I press 'ctrl + alt + del' but nothing happens
my children have used my XP computer to play games and are stuck in a program. I couldn't get the game to quit, escape did not work so I decided that I use the Task Manager and end task. However, when you press 'ctrl + alt + del' nothing happened? any ideas how I can find / turn the Task Manager?
This may be the result of malware. Download and run the free version of this tool.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
http://Malwarebytes.org/
After you do this, if the Task Manager is still gray, click here to open the page Korner one Kelly.
On this page, scroll down to line 113 and in the left column, click on "Activate" to download a small .reg file. Save on the hard drive.
Once you have downloaded, run it according to the instructions at the top page of Kelly Korner.
If your antivirus opposes the execution of the file, ignore him. Files from Korner of Kelly are safe.

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.

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\Systemhttp://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".http://users.Telenet.be/bluepatchy/miekiemoes/tools/VArestorepolicies.zip
As has already been suggested, it is also a Marti goo to scna the system to ensure that it is clean.

my computer laptop Inspiron 8130 said the ACB for descriptor3 NTLDR is missing, press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart that i do not whats happing
Dells have generally 3 partition boot disks:
- A hidden Dell utility Partition
- The Partition of the OS (Windows)
- A hidden the Dell PC Restore Partition
One of you is afflicted.
Have you had a power failure these days?
This symptom of NTLDR missing is quite common
It could be that the file is really missing, or it could be that XP don't "find" it because the file system is damaged and you must simply run a chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console.
If you have no real XP bootable installation CD to enter the Recovery Console, look in the tutorials section for how to make a bootable CD from the Console of the Recovery XP (no XP media required).
Then use the Recovery Console to verify the integrity of your file system.
You can run "fixboot" from the XP Recovery Console CD.
You DO NOT need to run "fixmbr" However for who could destroy scores of Dell and just leave you with a XP partition.
Check out the tutorial describing the question "NTLDR is missing", and then apply these methods of troubleshooting and resolution first.
Maybe someday the dialog box 'ask a question' forums XP will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I don't have to ask every time. It might even be possible to solve a problem in a single response when enough information is provided.
Please provide additional information on your system:
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..
The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)
The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?
You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?
If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

You may have accidentally hidden albums. The library panel Inspector hid 'Show' and 'Hide' controls to the right of the titles of 'Albums', 'Projects', etc. Move the cursor to the right of the title 'Albums' and look if the albums will be displayed, if you click 'Show '.

How can I edit smart playlist in 12.4.0.119? This option seems to have disappeared.
It seems to be the same. When you say 'Edition', you mean change the rules and parameters of the intelligent, correct reading list?
Make sure the sidebar is visible, so hidden (from the view menu). Right-click the smart playlist and Edit the list of smart playlist. Or, after selecting the smart playlist, use the Edit Playlist button near the top right.

Satellite R830 - 1-1 and Win8.1 - Bluetooth seems to have disappeared
With "upgrades" Windows 8 and 8.1 (do not do it at all!), my Bluetooth seems to have disappeared and Windows tells me to reinstall the drivers.
When I go to the page for download driver Toshiba support for my Satellite R830 - 1-1 (PT32LE-01V00CEN), I see 'Bluetooth filter package for Atheros Driver' and 'Bluetooth Stack Toshiba Windows 8 - Upgrade '.
My laptop has Intel wireless card as I guess all of this model have, so why is listed Atheros?
I'm afraid I have no idea what I need to install to get my Bluetooth works again. Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
> My laptop has Intel wireless card as I guess all of this model have, so why is listed Atheros?
Because different models of Satellite R830 supports different Wlan cards from different manufacturers.> I'm afraid I have no idea what I need to install to get my Bluetooth works again. Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Your laptop supports the network adapter Intel wireless (with feature of BT). For cards Intel WLan no Bluetooth filter package must be installed.
In your case its just to install the Intel Wlan driver, battery Toshiba Bt and the Toshiba system driver -

Outlook Express 6 just ate the value of year of my emails. They seem to have disappeared. This happened after I was asked if I wanted compact (or was it archive?) my emails. All hope of recovery?
Thank you!
Please read this in its entirety. It includes the restoration of the trash.Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :
http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact
Why mail disappears:
http://www.insideoe.com/problems/bugs.htm#mailgoneRecovery methods:If you are running XP/SP3, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.In Windows XP, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:
http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspxAnd see:
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4A general warning to help avoid this in the future:Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
