Computer Acting Slower / Task Manager Has Been Disabled
Mar 9, 2008
Hi, latley my computer has been acting slowley, I've noticed i've been getting these bogus pop ups telling me to buy this latest anti spyware program. It has a set a backgroudn which i cannot change, it says the same thing and takes me to the same site. I've tried several anti spyware programs, but it hasn't helped.Also, when i try to access my task manager, it says task manager has been disbled by your administrator.
last night i was burning some dvds and my computer stopped responding. i hit alt ctrl del to bring up the task manager to end the program. it ended but it was like in slow motion. ever since then i cant pull up the task manager. it does nothing when i try to open it. also my computer is running really fast and loud like the drive is doing something. i dont know if i have programs running and i dont know about them.
I started getting random popups and my start page had changed, so i ran Microsoft antispyware. When the scan is halfway through my computer reboots. I tried with norton and ad-aware, but they also reboot halfway through the scan. My task manager is also disabled, and my background has changed to a blue screen that says something along the lines of: "System Stopped. System has been stopped due to a serious malfunction. Spyware activity has been detected."
when I click on task manager it only shows the running task window. it used to have a list of all startup stuff and a thing where I could look at a graph of cpu usage, but those are not there anymore
I noticed today that my computer has been acting kind of strange. It moves a lot slower and locks up a lot. its the hijackthis log file i think see if something isn't right
My computer has been effected by the new and improved windows 2009 anti virus and now I am slowly recovering. The virus disabled task manager and my registry. I'm using Windows Xp Pro Sp 3. How do I enable them?
My Task manager has been disabled what can I do to Keep it going? The second problem is that my turn off computer button will not stay on my start menu. I have tried a few different things that people have told me, but everytime I reset, it goes back to no button.
I'm running windows XP SP2 When I press Ctrl / Alt / Delete the system displays a message saying "Task manager has been disabled by your administrator". I have a stand alone PC not connected to a network so I'm guessing that a rogue piece of software has done this.
i am having some problems with my task manager. i can't seem to open it. and everytime i try.. an error shows up saying that my task manager has been disabled by the administrator.. i wasn't doing anything when that happened. i was only copying some pictures from a digicam. then that error showed up. then when i restarted the computer another error showed up. it said that rvhost.exe cannot be found.
When I press Ctrl-Alt-Delete I am given a pop-up that says Task Manager has been disabled by the administrator. At any given time, when I am on the internet. I get a pop-up that says Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and must close. I usually click Don't Send and it closes out my Internet Explorer.
I Dont Know What Has Happened To My Computer But It Looks Everything Has Gone Bad. The Task Manager Is Disabled By Administrator When Pressing Ctrl Alt Delete. No Turn Off Button On The Start Menu! Cannot Open Anything In New Window Or Cannot Click A Link, It Never Redirects!
Something Is Really Wrong! To Listen To Sound, Everytime I Restart I Have To Uninstall Creative Sl Audio And Put The Cd And Have To Add Hardware To Listen Cause Everytime I Restart There Comes A Error In There So I Cannot Listen
I have been trying to start my computer for some time now but whenever the computer gets to the desktop screen, a ton of programs start popping up and eventually the computer restarts and the cycle continues until I shut the computer off. I am able to do virtually nothing on the computer before it restarts but I am able to see that the computer is running at 100% and has approx 180 applications running when I open the . I want to do a virus scan but cannot and no matter how many of the programs I try to close, it always restarts. Is there any way that I can stop all programs from processing at the start so it may not restart on me?
our computer is running slowly. When trying to open programs the hour glass flashes and so do the icons. I ctrl alt del to check my usage and it keeps going up to the high 90's and then back down. I have updated and ran Adaware , spybot and AVG.
My computer started running slow. I noticed in Task Manager that there were processes that ended in ' .t ' Running a search on my computer showed that there are over 100,000 .t files now on my computer. I've run Spy Sweeper, which blocks some of these from starting up, but won't get rid of them. Same with Spyware bot. What are these files? and how do I get rid of them?
Since my computer has been getting slower and slower, i've decided it would be a good idea to reformat it. can anyone give me any guides on how to do this or any tips?
I have Windows XP and I recently had a problem with my task manager becoming disabled. Upon attempting to open task manager I would recieve a message stating that it had been disabled by my administrator, I am the administrator and I did not disable the task manager. I corrected this problem and now when I attempt to open the help menu in the task manager I get a message stating that the task manager has encountered a problem and needs to close.
I opened windows explorer and I think it was taking up so much memory that it froze-I had to wait a while for it to work properly,and then it was really slow(even for my slow pc,I had windows live messenger and itunes' windows open and they just disappeared from the taskbar,and I had to right click on their icons in the right corner(is that the notification area-I forgot),and when they reappeared on the taskbar I had to right click on them,and they would only open when I clicked maximize. It took me a while to open some things in windows explorer too
new computer last month and we have not experienced any problems with it until yesterday. I had to use the ctrl+alt+del function for some reason, but when I entered those keys, a message came up that said "Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator." Ctrl+alt+del has worked previously, as recent as the day before. But for some reason it will not open up. No one in my family messed with the computer controls, at least not purposely. I called the Tech Support for HP, the maker of our computer, and they could not figure out the problem. Their only suggestion was to do a full system restore. I imagine there has got to be a way to fix this.System: Microsoft XP Home Edition. Service Pack 2 Make: Hewlett-Packard Pavilion
A friend of mine has a 4 yr. old PC running XP Home with 128Mb of memory. He's had problems with programs aborting recently. I tried to run Device Manager to make sure there were no issues there. It briefly brought the screen up, then it went away. The same thing happened to Task Manager when I tried to see what was running and how much memory was being used. Anybody ever see this behavior before? I might try installing a memory cleaner pgm (ie. Memturbo), but I'm not sure I would even be able to get it to run. The hard drive amd memory seem to have no errors.
I recently downloaded some media files and straight after my computer slowed down to a crawl and then would not respond. The mouse pointer remains active but i cannot click on anything succesfully. The task bar and task manager do not respond at all, i can open files saved on my desktop but cannot do anything when they're open and cannot close them again. I reset my PC a number of times but this did not solve the problem. I assume this is a virus or spyware problem but could it possibly be anything else?
You know how after you end a program using End Task in Task Manager, it asks you if you want to tell Microsoft about the problem? I was able on my other XP system to change an option somewhere so it doesn't ask me that any more. I just can't remember how I did it.
At times, I have this problem.When I tries to "End Task" of some program, Windows Task manager refused.The same will happen to Process Viewer that comes with Norton SystemWorks
I've noticed the my comptuer is getting extremely slow. DUring game sessions I used to leave firefox running, now if I leave firefox running the fps drops dramatically. I end task everything that isn't required for my system to run on but always had that. If I have more than 1 window open, it freezes and nothing works for about 1 - 10 minutes.
My computer has been getting slower and slower and I am know having problems with slow connection speed and some screen freezing. I have done all the routine maintenance and ran several spware and virus scans. I am lost and have no idea what to next and I have run scan disk but I havent seen any reports from that and wouldnt begin to know where to look.
I think I have found way i have been getting a white box that's been floating around my screen. I have ran a panda online virus scan and this is the log that I have came up with. my computer has been running slower then usual
My computer is growing tired. Below this message are some stats about my setup that might be useful. The computer is 5 years old now. I know, ancient by today's standards, but it's what we have right now. Over time, between installed software, uninstalled software, etc., it seems to have gotten slower. I've heard that every once in a while, it's not a bad idea to initialize the hard disk and reinstall the software.
My laptop is a little over a year old, and has gradually gotten slower to both start up and shutdown. I have hardly anything running at start up, and the disk has been defraged. On the other hand, my 5+ year old desktop boots up in LESS than half the time, running less RAM and a slower processor. The only difference is that the desktop was reformatted a few months ago, but it has not slowed down.Here it is Toshiba Satellite A-105 1.7 Dual Core 1Ghz RAM XP SP2 Start up Items:AVG Anti virus Zone Alarm Firewall Toshiba Hot keys (The Fn Function keys) Toshiba Touch pad (Mouse)Intel WirelessI've done several scans and there are no viruses or spy ware. I have also used both Crap Cleaner and Norton Utilities (No, Norton is NOT installed and found no registry issues. I did run Hijack This, and here's the log.
I bought a computer that has SP2 already installed so I can't get rid of it. It blocks all the pop-ups I need to get to and makes my computer slower.I hate SP2.
This problem just came out of no where today. i installed a TV tuner card, cinema 4D (3d render program) And i think i formatted a HDD (40gig) as well. but overall my computer is being much slower that it ever has.
