Thanks.. taskmgr did get enabled but gets killed in two seconds.. any thoughts?

Your machine is likely still infected with the virus that caused the problem in the first place. You'll need to remove it somehow. Try running an up-to-date virus scan, perhaps after booting into safe mode.

Thanks! My dad has been going crazy trying to figure out how his task manager got disabled. When he gets home tonight he'll be happy to know it's been enabled again! And I believe I'll be bookmarking your page for future reference!

Thank you! Took me about a minute to navigate to enable admin controls. Darn viruses! I'm good now, thank you.

I have dled the freeware AVG and scan my disk C and i found a trajan and i have already healed and removed it. But all yr above methods don;t work for me. Mine is windows XP. I've tried both methods but it didnt work. The 2nd method when i typed in regedit and enter. it said registry editing has been disabled by the adminstrator. SO how do i solve this prob? Yr help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.
