  Check if you are able to access Task Manager

  Method 2:

  -Press Ctrl + SHIFT + ESC key

  Check if you are able to access Task Manager

   

  Method 3:

  Run the Microsoft safety scanner.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

  Refer (to repair manually corrupted files, see the details of the File Checker process system to find the corrupted file and then manually replace the corrupted file with a known good copy of the file)

• the Task Manager does not start

  My laptop started running very slowly and I can't seem to start the Task Manager. Ctrl alt delete gives me the opportunity to start that I chose, but I don't get an inactive icon in my toolbar. I am running vista Home basic with service pack 1. When I restart or stop the laptop hangs at logging off-page. I also noticed that some of my applications/startup process are not start or appearing in my toolbar. I initially had Bit defender as my anti virus - but he exchanged for computer related. I had the problem with both.

  Hi Omanianne,

  Please read the following article from Microsoft Help on the Troubleshooting Task Manager.  Specifically, look at the sections of the Task Manager does not start, and How to enable the Task Manager if it has been disabled.  Based on the other symptoms you have described, it is very possible that you have some kind of virus.  Please make sure that your antivirus software is up to date and run a scan complete your system.  Please let us know if you have any problems or questions.  Thank you.

  Dear,

  I checked for viruses with avast free version, but no viruses were found.

  I also try the solutions suggested here withous success:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-Task-Manager-problems

  Could be a conflict between avast and driver intel as suggested here?

  Ive also installed Process Explorer, as the alternative Task Manager, but it's not working too.

  Thank you

• the Task Manager does not appear when right-clicking on the taskbar

  The Task Manager does not appear when right-clicking on the taskbar

  Hello

  It appears when you press ctrl + shift + ESC? It seemed before? You are an administrator on this computer or is it a corporate system?

  If he has suddenly ceased to be available, it's a good sign that you have picked up a virus or some kind of malware. Formal analysis in safe mode is your first line of defense.

• The Task Manager does not start. I get a message "task manager has been disabled by your administrator".

  Original title: I deleted a virus from my computer but the Task Manager does not start.  I get a message "task manager has been disabled by your administrator".  Can someone tell me how to fix this.

  Task Manager

  Too bad!  I thought about it.  It has been disabled in the registry.

• My task manager does not work

  I have not been able to get my task manager to work for weeks.  I ran all virus scan, malware bites, ccleaner reg scan and scan Norton 360 and I have not been able very well the problem, I still ran HJT and have not been able to find or figure out what to do.

  The KB555480 is correct (it might work sometimes perhaps) If you have XP Pro and if you do make a mistake, change the registry and if that is your only problem, but it is unlikely in the case of a malware infection.  He also doesn't correct the symptom of the problem and does not really solve the actual problem.

  You get an error message on the Task Manager is disabled, or you see just a brief flash of the hourglass?

  If no error message and Yes don't brief hourglass, do this first part:

  Sounds like malicious software prepares and he doesn't want you can use the Task Manager to find and remove it.  He knows what you are going to use and do not run these tools.  He wants you to reinstall your XP instead.

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

  Using Explorer, go to the c:\windows\system32 folder 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.

  If the Task Manager opens, the problem is the malware won't let the taskmgr.exe a running process, but he does not know jose.exe as a process (it could well one day that), then you just have to outsmart it.

  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, reboot, test and we can fix any other issues.

  If you receive a message that the task manager has been disabled, you need to fix it with the following:

  If your task manager is afflicted in this way, there are probably many other things which do not too much that you don't know yet - as the registry, the system restore and the command prompt Editor, so fix them all at once even if you have not discovered they are broken again.

  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 delete, so that the malware disables you are more likely to consume and prevents them from running.

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

  The malware will be happy to fool into thinking you have to so something drastic to fix your system - how to use a System Restore Point, perform a repair, or even to reinstall XP from scratch.  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 were on the end (you or an administrator has made them) or some malware, if analysis tools let these things alone (it's usually a good thing).  If your system contains afflictions like these, your malicious software tools have already failed to protect your system anyway.

  The Manager of difficult tasks, Command Prompt, the registry editor and the restoration of the system at a time (if they need fixing or not).  The process is the same for XP Home and XP Pro.

  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

  Copy and paste the following lines in bold text in 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 the extension .reg on your desktop 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 Yes to the following question: are you sure you want to add the information in the registry?

  If you see a message that the registry editor has also been disabled, we will need to enable it first (differently).

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

  Depending on the circumstances, your tools can work right away, but in order to avoid the 'does rebooting your system?' question later, go ahead and reboot your system and test it.

  Allow the tools in this way only solves the symptom of malware infection, but does not solve the real problem (the infection) 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.

  Do not guess what the problem might be - understand and resolve it. I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

• CS5-> CS6 upgrade hangs, block the windows Task Manager, does nothing else

  Got the CS6 Design Standard update, hoping to upgrade from CS5 Design Premium. Could it be the problem? I don't have all the added bonus and this stuff is ridiculously expensive.

  In any case, I put the disc, nothing happens. I run the set - up.exe, the disc spins, then nothing continues to happen. I watched it for up to 5 minutes and nothing.

  Set - up.exe isn't in Applications, but it's in the process in windows Task Manager. However, there is no real activity at all. When I try to end the process, WTM crashes. I have to every hard reboot or eject the disc in order to recover.

  What gives? I can post PDApp.log if need be, but I don't know how much help it will be.

  W7 Pro 64-bit

  So it turns out that it was the reader. I installed an internal DVD SATA drive and it ran the update without fault. Just in case someone else stumbles across this post with a similar problem, make sure that you do not install the update of an external USB DVD drive, specifically a Samsung SE-S084. It won't work.

  Thanks for the help guys!

• The Windows XP Task Manager does not display the names of process image

  I am running Windows XP with SP3. Image of process names are not displayed in the Task Manager, and in the column picker image process name, although is TICKING, is grayed out. I don't have the PID numbers. So I can't say what processes are underway. There are 57 processes running, that seems to be too many.   I tried running "tasklist > tasklist.txt"from command, prompt but it just flashes and nothing happens. " Does that mean I have a Trojan horse? What can I do about it?

  BDF

  That seems good enough for me - now, we know that your XP version and Service pack, System brand and model, BIOS version, the amount of RAM installed, the size of your paging file according to NEC, your system has SATA drives and a few other things.

  47 process may be OK depending on what you have installed and running on your system.

  Looking at my notes, I see that I thought a while back that the tasklist.exe program does not come with XP, but there's a copy on my SkyDrive for you to download.

  Here's how:

  Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

  https://SkyDrive.live.com/?CID=6a7e789cab1d6f39&ID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

  You can download it and when you do, place a copy of the file in these folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

  c:\Windows\System32

  When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

  When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

  You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file called tasklist when the name of the file should really be called tasklist.exe (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

  Then, when you run tasklist > tasklist.txt, you should end up with a file tasklist.txt you can open it with a text editor.

  Even if you think yous system may be achieved a malware, it has never hurts to run these free scans before troubleshooting:

  No matter what you use for malware protection, follow these steps:

  Download, install, update and do a quick scan with these free malware detection programs (not at the same time) and remove all threats:

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

  SAS will probably report a lot of tracking cookies and you can just let him delete them.

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  The scans by operating clean, restart, and then fix any problems.

• 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!

  Thanks in advance for your help

  Original title: Task Manager problem

  I managed to solve the problem by looking for alternatives. Apparently, the problem was caused by a dat file (C:\windows\system32 folder called FNTCACHE.) (DAT) I deleted and it worked like a magic. Everything was normal again.
  Deleted it and the work of all the graphical interfaces as it should.

  Thanks for your answer, in any case. I just post the solution here if someone ever faced with such a question in the future.

  Kind regards
