I had to have remote assistance a couple of weeks ago for a virus and lost access to my task manager.

Your assistance in restoring it was on the head. Thanks a lot however I have a smaller problem. Task Manager shows but for a few seconds and closes itself again.

I have windows Xp professional sp2… My task manager is disabled…I tried to your first step gpedit. How can i enabled taskmanager…. It appears that the worm is much stronger for this solution, do you have any other fix? I still had trouble as some infected files beep.

They apparently could not be un-infected. I tried many changes and hacks, rebooting frequently, but the AV messages kept popping up every minute or so.

If there was a way I could make it so that AOL can not load at all, that would be wonderful. Is this alright? Thanks so much!! But it didnt work. So i went for regedit method.

Please help me.. My pc has a problem that registry editor and task manager has been disabled by admin, also antivirus kernel failed NoD I try to fix it by extra registry editor and change the keys alot.

Yes, i did as you said, but when i try to open it again it flashes off within few seconds, help plz. Thank you for the instruction.. Also do you have any idea how to remove this virus? In my situation, I only see my wallpaper, but no desktop buttons.

So, I can not click the start button to begin the fix. Is there any way to change the Task manager setting in this situation? If all you see is the desktop with no buttons, then you need to open in Safe Mode with Networking. Chances are you will only get a black screen in safe mode. Go to File, New Task, and type explorer to get access to your programs. Download and install Malwarebytes, and run a scan in Safe Mode. That should clear it up enough to access your desktop in Normal Mode, at which point you need to do further scans to clean all infections.

I used Spybot Search and Destroy, and Ad-aware. So I did the XP Home fix of regedit. And there it was taskmgr disabled. I deleted it. Which one disabled the Task Manager? Yes, I was hooked there for a while. I just scaned with Malwarebytes and it found 2 items infected. I have Windows XP. I have the same problems as L McKinley with xp pro. If i open in safe mode and click on the administratior is says loading settings and then goes right into saving settings.

If i open normally i get just desktop background. Is there a way to get into safe mode so i can try some of these options? Well that makes at least 3 of us.

I also have the same problem. No task manage, no icons no start menu. Just a blank background screen. And I cant scan my computer because the virus is preventing my anti virus from running and also i cant open my gpedit. Please someone help me tnx. The above process fixed my task manager. I had a virus and Anti-virus took care of it but also gave me all kinds of registry problems, this was one of them.

Thank you for the info!!! Now my pc has been infected with trogen. I am not able to access internet to scan my system again. The task manager has been disabled. Kindly help me to fix it. I did everything and the task manager is still not working. I need to download Internet Security and it will not let me until I disable Micorsoft outlook.

Thank you so much, went through these steps, cleaned my computer and my task manager is back. Thanks a lot! My laptop got several viruses after I finally found software to delete them my task manager was disabled. I found your instructions and was somewhat afraid to make changes to the registry, but your instruction was simple to follow. I now have my task manager back…thanks for your help!

OMG , thankyou , u r soo helpful , but when i went to run and typed gpedit. Thanks for that do-your-own instructions! Now my task manager is enabled. I had it disabled months ago. And I believed that it was caused by a virus. Well, if its really caused by one,, ive run the complete scan and I did what the instructions told me so.. Another cause might be spyware, and sometimes it is not detected by the antivirus software.

There are many freeware spyware removers that will do the job for you. Hope that this is of help. They were soo easy and right to the point and the visuals helped alot! There is no error message it just does not come up. Have run mcafee, adaware and antimalware many times and the system is clean as far as I can tell. Thank you SO much for this! Thanks again.

Yes, I have the problem that you are discussing about and I have absolutley no idea how i got the virus. And things just keep popping up. I really need help! I cannot do any of the gpedit or regedit, it will not allow me to. And i DID read the article! One wonders why Microsoft has this option in the first place… of course Trojans will use it!!

Posted by: kenn at April 7, PM. This can be fixed by either logging on as an admin, or create a VB Script to delete or modify the reg key this should circumvent the admin policy yes scary that it can be done so easily.

Leo, Thanks for the great article. I got taskmanger back now its time for a virus scan. I have got windows xp and have tried service. Thanks For This.

I downloaded Super AntiSpyware, ran a scan and it found it instantly and got rid of it. Awesome program! When I did the thing in gpedit.

Either way my problem was solved. How you splve that problem. Also when i run safe using F8 it starts nicely but suddenly collapse. Could you help me to solve it and what cause it. That worked for me after having the ominous Auth To remove the file, I started in safe mode, opened a command prompt and renamed all exe files in the temp directory to filename.

What to do..? OMG… thank you very much… its been weeks since Task Manager was Enabled, whenever something freezes, I could not get rid of it. This means a lot.. That is as far as I can get. For many people I have found out that if their task manager has been disabled most likely by a virus, the regedit has also been disabled, if this is your case do a system restore to a few days back, I did it and it worked as the restore points save registry settings.

My task manager came back but disabled immediately, there is an autorun that does that how do I delete this autorun since I cant boot the comp in safe mode. I used all the options that you mintioned but all the tries failed so do I have a virus?

Running these two commands from the command prompt would solve the problem. Right clicked on clock and Task Manager was not grayed out, but still could not access. Followed regedit instructructions, but file mentioned was not present.

The methods in the article above failed to work, tho. My task manager will not work either. But, my problem is that any. I used google to find a solution and still have nothing. Please help. It didnt work for me. I am using Win XP Pro. Click Start, and then click Run.

Type taskmgr. This worked. I ran a full scan 10 hours and now all is well. I have a new microsoft keyboard. I am a fumbling old man, I drop things, I recently dropped a stapler on the ScrnLk key and was suitably amazed by the result. I tried your solution and followed the steps given above. I have windows xp installed on my laptop. When i tried regedit…it displays that registry edit has been disabled by administrator…this is pestering me..
