FRUSTRATED

Lice · 08-22-2004, 11:12 PM

I accidently hit some button or did something weird and my task manager like, jumped into 16bit mode or something.. I have windows XP and, my task manager is supposed to look like this:

But instead, it looks like this

I honestly don't know what the $*(%^ happened, But its really annoying because all the tabs are gone and i can't switch to "Proccessess" and, now i can't stop certain programs from running.

Anyone know how to fix this. {I'm pretty sure i just hit some hotkey or something, but i can't figure it out}

I restarted and it didn't fix it. I've been playing around with it for awhile and i can't figure this out, its really pissing me off.

Do you have system restore on? Right click my computer go to properties, Advanced tab, then look in performance maybe somthing is unchecked.

Oh my god, Thanks alot Flash_AAA... I remember changing those settings for better performance.. I didn't know it would change the task manager like this though, so i wasn't able to go to the processes tab.

thanks. i knew it would be something simple like this.

Not a prob glad i could help

hmm...

i'm starting to think i have a virus. >_<
i was past due for one anyway. haven't got one in awhile.

i can't open mozilla. double click it and nothing happens. Also sometimes when i try to open IE it opens for 0.274 seconds and closes on its own.

the task manager still looks like that, even after changing those settings and restarting -_- i was pretty damn sure that was the problem, guess not

too bad i can't use task manager and go into the Processes tab and see whats running. But when i open it and see the open programs that are running right now, rundll32.exe and Proyecto1.exe are running..
have no idea what Proyecto1 is.

Ran spybot and ad-aware and they didn't find anything.

EDIT: ohh boy, i googled Proyecto1.exe and whole bunch of McAfee / antivirus software comes up.

Looks like you have that virus:

5. Sets the following registry keys and values:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
"MediaPath"="C:\Proyecto1.exe"

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunOnce
"Rundll32.exe"="C:\Rundll32.exe"

Yeah i was just looking at http://securityresponse.symantec.co...2.gruel@mm.html

how do you change your startup config and registry and all that¿ i forgot
its late and i'm tired and i can't think.. for some reason i thought you go to Run > type in "MSConfig" but thats not working so thats obviously not it

ohkay, i typed in 'regedit'.
"Registry Editing has been disabled by your administrator"
What?!?!

Ohkay i need to go to sleep. I don't even have antivirus software so i just downloaded bullguard. i'm not even sure if this will help or not but its scanning. 53 hours remaining. Scan Speed: 1 file/second. Jesus..
i'll Be back later.

If you still can't access regedit, have a look at this: Help! Regedit disabled by administrator
