I don't know what you mean by "not highlighted". If you get any error
messages, please post the exact text. Do you mean that the Task Manager
doesn't appear? Can you run Regedit? Try Start>Run>regedit [enter] and
see.

Not being able to run Task Manager and Regedit are symptomatic of virus
infection. Be sure the computer is clean:

OK, this is my last attempt to pull the details from you. Here is a link
that explains what you should include in a newsgroup post in order to
get focused help:

Here are some other suggestions and links to help focus the
troubleshooting:

The First Question Of Troubleshooting: what changed between the time
things worked and the time they didn't?

The Second Question of Windows Troubleshooting: what is the
malware/virus status of the machine? If you think it is clean, what
programs (and versions) did you use to determine this?
