Hangs And Control Alt Delete Then It Does Not Work
Mar 29, 2006
I am using Windows XP version 2000 and intel celeron 1.2 GHZ with 256 MB RAM. My problem is that all of a sudden my Windows hangs up and when I try to soft boot it ctrl+alt+del then it doesnt work imfact no key works, everytime I hard boot it (Reset). Can anyone tell me what could be the possible reasons? I am really pissed off as this is occuring quite frequently.
Through out the day, I have my computer on. Many times... whether I am using the computer at that moment, or if I leave and come back later... my screen will be frozen. The mouse moves, but nothing on the screen can be clicked. Also, control alt delete works as well, so I have found that if I go into the applications tab and open a new task and open/refresh "explorer" everything will start working again.
I have been recently having problems with my computer, revolving around the above program. Whenever I click on control panel from Start it hangs around for about 30-60 secs before saying 'Dr Watson Postmortum Debugger has encountered a serious error and needs to close'. Afterwards, the whole computer is totally frozen, and I have to perform a force shutdown. I currently use a Windows Xp 512mb ram Pentium 4.
Ive never seen this before but i guess it was the work of a virus on my computer but everytime i try to hit ctrl alt dlt, there is a notification that pops up that says "The task manager has been disabled by your administrator". But i dont know how to get in there and re-enable it.
My daughters computer is so messed up I can't even get in to the control panel to delete programs or on to the internet to download spybot. How can I get in to clean up the garbage.
When I sign in to my server, I need to access the task manager while using remote desktop. I cannot or do not know how to invoke control alt delete from a remote desktop session., so I can see the processes running. Is there another way to see this other then with control alt del?
When I turn my sytem on, I have to hit control alt delete then hit enter to get the system on. Is there any way to disable that so when I turn my computer on it goes right to start up and desktop?
Just the other day I started to be unable to access my IBM thinkpad laptop T60, because it freezes after i press the security control alt delete at login for Windows XP, the one you have to get through before typing in your password. The keyboard works fine until that point, because i have an encryption password/username point to get through before startup, and everything is O.K. However, after I get to CTRL-ALT-DLT, the computer stops recognizing anything even the mouse stops moving. The only thing I can do at this point is to force quit the mouse mysteriously is moveable when it starts shutting down again.
hey this may seem like a dumb question for most of you, but whenever i try to hit control, alt, delete, my pc says "task manager has been disabled by your administrator". i am the administrator and i dont remember disabling it, heck, i dont even know how to get to the screen to disable or enable it.
when i start windows all that comes up on the screan is the wallpaper and not icons or taskbar the only way that i was able to get to firefox is to press ctrl+alt+del and statring firefox.exe
Unfortunately my PC got a virus which corrupted (amongst others) my wininet.dll file. My virus software quarantined all the infected files, but wininet.dll is needed to run explorer.exe. I have tried to recover a previous copy of wininet.dll but it is corrupt and now every time I try to turn on my PC (even in safe mode with command prompt, it crashes when it tries to load up this file). I have lost my boot disk and have no way of deleting the wininet.dll file (which would at least let windows run). how to I can delete the corrupt file?
Suddenly, I noticed that Windows update no longer works. I still get automatic updates, but for some reason I can't manually update things. Anyone else seen this? If you note, they're asking to install an Active-X control, but the information bar doesn't popup to allow me to continue.
I need some help. I'm running windows xp pro w/SP2. Everytime I select search to look for files/folders it hangs. It doesn't work. Is there a fix for this?
When I start up, I get a black screen with this: Disk read error occurred Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to restart So I do. Same thing happens. I don't have any CDs or anything in the drive. The computer had also been shutting down randomly on me prior to this.
Ctrl now opens the bookmarks side-bar in firefox when I try to ctrl + c to copy something it does in fact copy but it opens the bookmarks sidebar every time. Also I cannot ctrl alt delete to open taskmanager anymore.
Suddenly ctrl-alt-delete does not work anymore. I don't know how it happened but now when I press them nothing happens. This is really annoying because I have a lot of programs running that reeaaallllyyyy slow up the computer. I do have ad aware but that does not work.
Whenever I downloaded a picture, I tried to delete it, but it won't delete. When you right click it, the options are, "Preview, Edit, Print, Open With. Send To". You cannot copy, rename, remove, move it or anything. It has no file path.
HELP Ctrl+Alt+Delete Wont Work I just recently tried to use Ctrl+Alt+Delete but it wouldn't work. I haven't recently installed anything I tried enabling everything from msconfig. Ctrl+Alt+Delete is supposed to be your last resort, the thing that always works, the last trick up your sleeve, the best weapon you have...but now it doesn't work.
window loads, sits, finally other half will load, mouse just doesn't seem to do anything so you click again and 3 minutes later 2 of whatever will finally open... just annoying crap really A few days ago comcast went off and I had to unplug modem, wait, then plug back up and restart system. I got a "Disk read error press control, alt, delete, to restart" error, tried that same thing so I shut down and when I turned back on it booted fine. I have since moved... just set up the system and am getting the same error except this time shutdown/restart isn't working ( The OTHER problem I realize is this... this is a tempory move! Most everything I own is in a storage unit, boxes to the back, furniture to the front and guess where my disks are? Right! I put printer, shredder, disks, everything I didn't just HAVE to have in the storage unit.
i have a folder on my desktop that is not empty but when i try to open it (via GUI or command line) it will not. i get "the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable" and it wants me to run check disk. when i do, i then get an application error on boot up. so i boot in safe mode with command line and disable check disk on boot up so i can get back into windows with no problem however the folder is still there and unable to open and/or delete. fsutil tells me that the c drive is dirty, but i just can't clean it.how can i delete "C:Documents and SettingsusernameDesktopNew Folder"?
The cut and paste control keys do not work on my computer [ Control-X cut & Control-V paste]. There is no error message - they just don't work.For example, if I open a document with Notepad and try to move all or part of it into an internet email then nothing happens. No error messages, just nothing. Same with my word processor I'm using OpenOffice Writer for word processing, free version, and got nothing from them on this question.
I want a single desktop click to enable/disable windows XP taskbar auto hide.I can do this if I write a script for the AutoHotkey macro tool to open the relevant dialog box and then check or uncheck the appropriate check box.I'd like to open the dialog box with a command line from AutoHotkey, or a similar operation. Right-clicking the taskbar even in the program is uncool.The catch is, I can execute any CP dialog EXCEPT this one as a command line, either passing a dialog parameter to Control.exe or else using a *.cpl file name with Control.exe or directly. But I can't find "Taskbar and Start Menu".
So i was trying to make some room on y C drive and i guess i deleted some files that i shouldn't To make a long story short now my volume control thingy that stays on my taskbar has dissapeared.When i go to the control panel and to sounds and audio devices and i get in there and there is an icon with the option to place volume icon on the taskbar but when i click on that i get 'windows cannot display the volume control on the task bar because the volume control program has not been installed. After several tries i figured i deleted the windows file soundvol32.exe but how the hell do i get it back and put it in its right place?I have no idea where it would go? Anybody have an idea how i can install that back? I tried using my windows cd but since i put service pack 2 on it it said that the version of windows i had on the cd was older than my current version.
