Hi all,
Has anybody had this problem?...Both my DVD and CD R have stopped being
recognized by Windows XP Home. The machine is a SONY VAIO. I have recently
removed the MS_BLAST malware, but PE_PARITE.A and B still exist in a few
files. (I am still trying to remove it. I lost alot of files due to the
"virus", perhaps that is where the problems began...? Also Task Manager and
System Configuration Utility will not stay loaded. Both of these prgrams
pop-up and instantly disappear!
Please advise.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
David Sellers

If this is not the case: Check your settings here

Taskmgr.exe should be listed in the %SystemRoot%\system32 directory. If you
cannot find the file, you can extract it from the Windows XP CD. To do so,
you can perform the following steps:

a. Insert your Windows XP CD into your CD-ROM.
b. Click Start, Run, type cmd and press Enter.
c. At the Command Prompt mode, type the following command:

For example, if the drive letter of your CD-ROM is F, you can type the
following commands:

F:
cd \i386
expand taskmgr.ex_ %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\taskmgr.exe

If it is a policy setting, run this edit:

Enable the Task Manager (Line 113)
