| 525567 | 2007-02-19 02:35:00 | What quick version?? If its running windows and ctrl-alt-del isnt working, it usually means its infected with something . Ah, I meant the quick version of getting to Task Manager i . e Ctrl/Alt/Del . . I just assumed that Packard Bells did that with different keys . So now you have me worried . . . It has passed avast & SpyBot tests since being noticed, plus has ZoneAlarm firewall, so I hadn't thought of infection . . |

| 525568 | 2007-02-19 02:37:00 | The nearest equivalent Mac command for Ctrl Alt Delete in Windows is Option, Command, Esc. (Option is also the alt key, Command is the Apple key). With an older Mac with a one button mouse or track pad Ctrl click works as right click. Thank you all,you will by now you mac people,wish you had a PC,so much simpler. I wonder if I can organise lunch with Bill on the strength of my argument?:blush: |

As it's you with the Packard Bell,it's you who we must ask as to how things are accessed . |

| 525570 | 2007-02-19 02:41:00 | Nope dont think it'll be any different even if its a different brand. Its still got the same version of windows as everyone else. Will regedit (start/run/regedit) run or msconfig (start/run/msconfig) run? What version of windows are we talking about? |

| 525571 | 2007-02-19 03:10:00 | Hhmmm New territory for me here. It's WinXP SP2. Regedit is one of those things I've kept my paws off for fear of stuffing up something through ignorance. Registry Editor opens, giving me 7 categoris to choose. They all seem to say Default/Value not set. (Full list later if needed) I have used msconfig previously - mainly System Configuration Utility/StartUp to see what's there. It's set to Customise, as that's how I've tried to get rid of thngs like QuickTime etc which sneak in there. (Ironically, this links with what I said about TeaTimer today in another thread) Obviously I need to do/change something. I await enlightenment - remembering that I am very nervous around the Registry & simplicity is a virtue in explanations (In other words, I'm a bit scared of this. Gotta grow up here, though, I guess?) |

| 525572 | 2007-02-19 03:25:00 | I only asked if those would open, since an infection like a trojan or worm usually hits regedit, task manager and msconfig . No need to edit/change anything in the registry . So u can't terminate the process to whatever is causing the infection . If u want to remove entries in startup permanently . ccleaner (www . ccleaner . com) would be better . |

| 525573 | 2007-02-19 03:35:00 | Thanks, Speedy. I'd uninstalled ccleaner because it was deleting directly - without putting anything in the Recycle Bin (the subject of an earlier thread - unsolved) & hadn't got around to reinstalling, just using EasyCleaner instead. So I guess that's next on the To Do list. And I can live without Ctrl/Alt/Del. There are far worse problems in computing, let alone life... |

| 525575 | 2007-02-19 05:47:00 | You should be able to. They may try to charge a connection fee, but say that you will go to vodafone and trade it in if you can't get it connected for free. | rogerp (6864) | ||
