Hi,
Copy and paster the following text into notepad (Between the lines only)

----------------------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableTaskMgr"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Group Policy
Objects\LocalUser\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableTaskMgr"=dword:00000000
"**del.DisableTaskMgr"=" "

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\policies\system\]
"DisableTaskMgr"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DisableCAD"=dword:00000000

----------------------

Save the file as TaskEnable.reg and run the file

All should be well

it is a common "evil" spyware tactic to cause Task Manager to fail to
load; if pressing cntrl-shift-escape causes task manager to briefly flash
then go away then that is your issue. reboot to safe mode and scan it,
and good luck - the evil ones can be hard to eradicate.
