422401 2006-01-19 06:49:00 If you are running Windows XP, try applying the following keys to launch Windows Task Manager: Ctrl + Shift + Escape. Perhaps (highly unlikely) the keys on the keyboard are stuck?

Cheers :)

Still don't quite get it, Terry. What does "perfick" mean? Answers.com didn't reveal much about it.

422406 2006-01-19 07:39:00 I thought I ought to try a good clean up of my computer. It was a mess. EWIDO SECURITY found 20 faults, SPYBOT 15, AdAware 47
Then Reg Mechanic 18
After all that I hoped Ctrl/Alt/Del would work. NO!
Rebooting makes no difference. Perhaps my keyboard is at fault but it is fairly new. I still feel that I have turned something off somewhere.
I have noticed the computer running extremely slowly at times and I get a Windows Message that my virtual image file(not sure about my wording here) is not big enough and it will be corrected

Well post a hijackthis log as I said in a previous post. We'll see what else maybe on your system.

Did you test to see if regedit will run, as Speedy suggested?

If it doesn't then you have probably got a virus.

If it does, then maybe for some reason taskmgr.exe is corrupted in some way.

So you could try running sfc /scannow to check for damaged system files.

The other thing you could try is a repair install, but I'd make really sure your system is free from nasties, by thorough AV scanning.
