73659 2002-08-25 03:26:00 Frustrating Problem, I used to be able to Ctrl-Alt Delete once and windows would pop up a screen from which I could close some programmes then as per normal if I hit it again it would reset the computer. Now when I hit it once my computer resets? Any help?

Cheers

73661 2002-08-25 04:34:00 vk_dre, if you read the poor ex Otago guys post, he cant ALT CTRL DEL even once without it rebooting.

Your suggestion of ALT-F4 wont bring up the task list either.

Sorry Scarfie, perhaps its pining for Carisbrook....

Actually there is a Trojan that can cause that, have you had the PC to the Vet lately to see what its caught?...

73662 2002-08-25 04:37:00 Doesn't NT use Ctrl/Alt?del as the forced logoff/reset --- security for multiuser? Graham L (2)
73663 2002-08-25 04:46:00 Yep, but my crystal ball isn't showing NT, perhaps its failing... godfather (25)
73664 2002-08-25 05:02:00 Not a bad crystal ball..... Win Me is the one I'm using with a cryrix 233 with 64MB on a Sis motherboard. It has been running fine for the last 4 months or so but suddenly changed (no new installations either)

I'm running Tauscan at the moment just in case Nortons missed a trojan. Thanks for the suggestion guys
