- Can't access Task Manager
- Posted by morathy on January 23rd, 2006
when I press Alt-Ctrl-Del to access Task manager, the Task manager option is
greyed out.
This problem has only just appeared, I can't think of anything I have done
to have caused this.
How can I re-activate my Task Manager?

Scan your system for malware and other parasites. Here are some free
programs.
Adaware SE

Once your system is cleaned and free of parasites, open the registry
(Start>Run and type regedit.exe).
Navigate to the following sub key:
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\System]
and/or
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\System]
Name: DisableTaskMgr
Type: DWORD
Value 0 - Restricted; 1 - Unrestricted
Or the right-hand pane, delete "DisableTaskMgr".
