Ctrl + Alt + Del not working

Hi frnds,

Attached image shows the screen I get after pressing CTRL + Alt + Del.. Theres no menubar.

What could be the problem?

Generally this is effect of virus. Scan your PC in safe mode with well updated antivirus. And see the if there is any effect..

Another way is:
1) Run Scan with "Hijack This"
2) Look for anything close to this O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{78B44176-C987-40AA-B09
3) It shoud be the same all the way to this^ point (the numbers may be diffrent
4) Check Mark it
5) Click on Fix Checked
6) Close the application & restart your PC

see if this trick helps you.

Last Option:
Repairing Windows is the last & best option to get rid of this problem.

^^ no such entry
NO virus, according to Avast Home, latest updates.

What now?

So your Windows task manager is not working?

Kind of.

Not exactly.. i don bother for this thing, but now dunno why the speed is soooo slow..

I've 40GB HDD, with 512MB Ram, system managed Virtual RAM, 2Ghz Intel Celeron.
Original Xp, sp2

And the speed sucks. Is this coz my PC is very outdated?

Hey people, how would you bring this effect (hiding menu bar and double clicking to get it back) on a computer that works perfectly?

A reverse question, I know, but this seems verrrryyyyy interesting

Buddy if that's what u call outdated system then what do you call mine..

Pentium 4 2.4Ghz 256 MB RAM....

Yes i am having just 256 MB RAM and i am very happy with my system performance...it's better then my friend system who is having Dual Core and 1 GB RAM...

Sorry i didn't understood your point...
Double click on any area(except the white area) to toggle between menu bar hiding and unhiding...and i didn't understood what u meant by "Computer that works properly"...This can be done on any system...

HEY!
Lol man it works! I didnt know this before! Neat, really neat.

I thought this was just some abnormal error as usual

nice, thanks for the info
