• 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

  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.

• Not able to open the Task Manager by ctrl alt del does nothing

  I can't run Task Manager. When I do ctrl alt del, it nothing happens when I do a search for the Task Manager and double click on it I get
  Cannot find C:\windows\system32\taskmgr.exe. When I hold the windows key and press x and then click on task Manger unspecified error. When I go into C:\Windows\System32 , there is none taskmgr.exe. Can't understand why the Task Manager does not work. Looks like I just need to install a file or two but I do not know.

  Hello

  It is not listed as taskmgr.exe. Taskmgr just as an application.

  You might try to open it by right clicking on your taskbar... it is\should have a button to start.

• I installed windows 7 and the desktop icons and bar tasks are enormous

  Original title: Windows 7

  I installed windows 7 and the desktop icons and bar tasks are enormous, go to Web pages, I have to use the scrollbar at the bottom of page to see the other half of the page - he said could also be a driver problem, but don't know what I'm looking for - someone can help?

  Hello

  Yes, well part of the problem from the point of view of Dell is the only "acceptable" operating system for the Office of series 4600 XP. So they have no drivers 'official' for any function of Windows 7!

  But first I need more information on the video card. Try this (on the Dell site): 4600 system is supplied either with the built-in car video or a dedicated real card video.  You should know that you got.  Right-click of your mouse on the desktop, click on Properties in the next area, you see.  This will bring you into the display properties.  Now click on settings at the top right of this next area, click Next on the advance .  Now, click on the adapter on the top.  Just below the upper on this last box, you will see your listed video adapter.

  You will need this information, regardless of where you get help. My best recommendation is that you go to the community of Dell and after a question here. Someone may have already found one, but there is nothing official since the operating system is not officially supported.

  I'm sorry, there is nothing more I can do.

  Kind regards

  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.

  black screen and nice white cursor and Ctrl alt del will not work, I can change the shell to the Explorer, but I can't unload or load the hive, what should I do?

  Hello

  Your question I know that some of these methods is not available now, however, all
  Convenience store is included just in case where win you some access as you try to solve the problem.

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel - device
  Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right click
  on devices and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
  CTRL + ALT + DELETE and on the tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - then
  on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached
  by tapping F8 as you start several times.

  Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
  That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
  Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a
  Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide

  Perhaps, you just need to wait for a while for Firefox download.

  Perhaps, it is an extension/plugin slowing your Firefox.
