Screen Freezes: Unable To Ctrl/alt/delete Fetch Up Task Manager?
Jul 25, 2005
every now and again when i click on something on my screen the screen freezes and the only way i can get out of the problem is to ctrl/alt/delete fetch up
task manager select the program and then switch to.this then allows my programs to work again.i have checked for viruses but found nothing
I go to run the task manager by pressing ctrl+alt+delete however it does nothing I can run task manager by going start>run but its a bit annoying having to do this I did have the antivirus pro 2009 virus.
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.
I am using Windows XP Home Edition (Service Pack 1) and according to a manual I have you open Task Manager by pressing the ALT/CTRL/DEL keys together, but when I do this nothing happens. Does any kind person know how to open this program ?
I have a question about the Ctrl-Alt-Del combo on Windows XP Pro. I am attempting to get the task manager to open when the user hits ctrl-alt-del instead of the normal "Security Options" window (with the 'lock computer' options etc). The problem I see is that the only way to do this appears to be by enabling the Welcome Screen. how to get the Ctrl-Alt-Del to open task manager no matter what? I would even be happy completely disabling the ability to hit ctrl-alt-del.
The reason I am doing this is because I have some XP machines running some custom vendor software. This software will crash if the screen locks or the "Security Options" window is launched (Absurd, but apparently this is a bug in the software they can't fix...). There is no hope for the vendor to fix the bug, so I need to find a way to prevent the crash. Sometimes the tool will run for 300-400 hours, so if someone accidentally hits ctrl-alt-del it could possibly ruin hundreds of hours of tests.
System Windows 2000 Server, Amd Athalon.I am getting an error that states the follwing:SvcHost.exe : Error Message Tiotile bar, Description The instruction at 0x546tyh78 <some address> referenced memory 0x0000000. The memory could not be read.When I log in the system is pretty slow and i repetitively get these errors. I Cannot access the "Task Manager" by either the Control + Alt +delete option or by right clicking the application bar.
My task manager appears and disappears when i key ctrl+alt+del. It didnt start doing this until i clicked a link in AIM "new pictures from the beach". I know that's a virus and am not sure how to fix that either. They may be related? How can i fix this?
I have a samll issue on a friends computer, I don't know if he caused it himself or if something happend on it's own. The operating system is Windows XP Proffessional. When I do Ctrl+Alt+Del it opens the Task Manager instead of the Windows Security window(where you can change password,log out, open the Task Manager ect.)
When I press CTRL+ALT+DEL the task manager appears for a second, then minimizes itself to the icon tray. When I position the mouse over the icon it disappears. I've run Norton Antivirus, Ad-aware, Spy Sweeper and Microsoft Anti Spyware, but none of them identify a virus relating to this problem.
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.
I recently re installed my OS. Before, when i pressed Ctrl+Alt+Delete, it gave me a completely new screen, where I would have choices like log off, change password, etc. However, now i just get the task manager when i press Ctrl+Alt+Delete. I remember seeing an option to change this somewhere, but i cannot recall from my memory.
When I log on to Windows, the Ctrl-Alt-Delete screen does not have a blue background and the title bar is black. Is there a way to make it back to the default Ctrl-Alt-Delete screen?
My logon screen for Windows XP Pro does not have the normal blue background and the white words in the title bar. Is there a way to make it go back to the default?
When I press control, alt, delete, the screen that comes up looks like this:Why can't I see the rest of the control, alt, delete screen? (I'm running windows xp home edition version 5.1.2600)
The task manager on my Windows XP Pro installation is missing the toolbar. The only way to close the task manager is to log-off. Does anybody have any idea on what I need to do to restore it?
i have a problem that i cant open my windows as when i log on the desktop doesnt load up except task manager when i searched for explorer.exe it was missed i have restore it throug the win xp cd the windows back to live but there is some thing can be noticed in this photo!!:i cant open any folder or any thing
I got a virus, McAfee cleaned them and now today I cannot open task manager. It opens then closes that fast. McAfee still finds no viruses. I've ran ewido 2 days ago and spybot. IE sometimes doesn't load and I cannot access the resistry from RunRegedit.exe, it also opens then closes.
i recently attempted to format my computer as it was going very slowly, i did the usual process of inserting the recovery cd's which came with the computer however this time the process did not complete, i left it for over an hour and the screen still remained the same. I decided to restart the computer and a message keeps coming up, disk read error press ctrl alt delete. I tried formatting again but all i get is a blank screen even before its begun, i tried using windows xp cd's
Task manager is weird. I can't get it to end a certain task because it's locked on the same screen. Also, not very important, but is there a way I can get my folders to have a setting to all folders?
I recently put my hard drive back into my laptop that had been damaged. While the laptop was being repaired I used an enclosure to access my data and changed the permissions on it several times and I think that may be part of my problem. When I first put it in I could access everything okay, but first I had to change my permissions which I did. After that I tried installing new software (itunes) and it said I didn't have proper access, so I went in and messed with the permissions again. Now after I log on I'm greeting with a black screen. I can access the task manager, but nothing else
I'm sure this is a simple question but I can't figure out the answer. I'm running XP yet my start button and the taskbar aren't blue, the standard XP color, they're now looking like they did in Win 98. How do I fix this? Also I can't access the task manager either by control alt del or by right clicking the task bar and selecting task manager there. I've searched on this and found a number of different methods to supposedly fix this but haven't been successful so far.
I consider myself at least a bit competent when it comes to XP and computers... but this problem has me puzzled. I've done tons of searches on google, various forums, microsoft database, etc... and have found some similar problems except that I can't get my taskmanager to become visible. It's there, I know it because I get the resize pointers around the taskmanager's box.
Also, when I start-up WinXP. It gets to the login screen but I can't see my login picture or buttons. I can click on them and enter my password, but when it logs in (the windows start sound plays) the whole screen is black except for the mouse cursor (I don't have a wallpaper, just a black background, so I can't really tell you if my "wallpaper" is still there).
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 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.
on starting up pc the task bar freezes for approx 15mins & only the egg timer is showing, can access desktop icons, however not all programs launch on task bar. what appears to be the issue, is it hardware or software
when i press ctrl alt del all i get is a box three things on the bottom , nothing on the top so i cant go anywhere else i cant delete the box either i have to reduse it and hide it in a corner.
