Friends -- I have windows XP Home edition running on a Dell computer. When I
try to bring up Windows Task Manager by typing <CNTRL> <ALT> <DEL> I get a
message that says that the user account does not have administrative
priveleges. However, the account is listed as an administrator. How do I
get <CNTRL> <ALT> <DEL> to bring up Windows Task Manager. Since this
computer is running very slow, I'm of the opinion that I have spyware or a
virus that is preventing me from getting to the administrative prompt and
deleting it. I have an antivirus program running with no virus' found, and
spykiller 2005 with nothing other than cookies found. Can anyone help?
