Guest preetilr@gmail.com Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 I tried to open the task manager but it won't open. I'm not that computer savvy so I'm wondering if anyone can help me with this. Thanks.
Guest Doug Knox - [MS-MVP] Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Re: Task Manager will not open! You likey have a virus. For additional help see http://www.dougknox.com, Win XP Utilities, Create Emergency Copies of Critical XP System Utilities. This small VB Program will create backup, usable copies of Task Manger, Regedit and MSConfig (named Copy_of_Taskmgr.exe, Copy_of_Regedit.com and Copy_of_MSConfig.exe) in a new folder C:\EmergencyUtil. Many virus programs will intercept these programs, based on their original file name. The modified file names, allow them to be run. Open Windows Explorer to C:\EmergencyUtil and double click the application you need. Additionally, see the Win XP Utilities section for Startup Programs Tracker. This small utility scans your system for startup programs and running processes. It also allows you to create a log file that can be copied and pasted into a newsgroup post. The contents of the program window are also copied to the Windows Clipboard, automatically. For replies to newsgroup posts, do NOT include the Running Services, unless its absolutely necessary. In some cases, it is necessary to rename the emergency copies, so they don't contain the taskmg, msconfig and regedit in the actual file name. Virus authors are getting smarter and are doing pattern matching to find even a partial match. -- Doug Knox, MS-MVP Windows Media Center\Windows Powered Smart Display\Security Win 95/98/Me/XP Tweaks and Fixes http://www.dougknox.com -------------------------------- Per user Group Policy Restrictions for XP Home and XP Pro http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_securityconsole.htm -------------------------------- Please reply only to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
