Crtl Alt Delete won't come up

NCIS330 · 07-18-2006, 04:59 AM

When I hit Crtl Atl Delete, the task manager pops up for a second and then closes on its own and I can't figure out why. Does anyone have this problem and how do I fix it because I can't see how much power is being used or anything?

Right Click on the clock in the lower left hand corner and select Task Manager. Tell me what happens.

A virus may be preventing it from being displayed. Run a virus scan as well as something like ad-aware or spybot.

It comes up when I right click on the clock but doesn't when I do the other thing.

Sounds like a virus or spyware to me... perform an adware scan and/or a virus scan

Did both and everything is clean.

I am not to sure but maybe it is because you are doing ctrl alt delete too fast or maybe as soon as it opens up you are clicking on escape. But I am not sure. I could be wrong.

could be a sticky key on your keyboard

I have had this happen before, Can't remember exactly where but there is a setting somewhere in windows where you can choose which accounts are able to use ctrl alt del, and it will prevent that account from having access to the task manager.

Everything is fine for right now.
