My mom's compaq presario lately has been freezing up so you have to do a hard boot to get it to unlock. She had some viruses and a worm in the past but they were taken care of.
But the main problem isnt the freezing. I cannot bring up her task manager. You click on it and it closes right back down. I have tried all the ways to access it and all of them fail to keep it open. I also found that the run commands on start menu dont work either...msconfig, regedit...etc. I can do all this however if i put the computer in safe mode. What could be causing it to act like this.
We cleaned up the computer. we dumped excess games to decrease the hard drive use, we scanned completely the computer and checked for spyware/adware and viruses all comes up clean...Help if you can.
