ctrl+alt+del broken

[Guest]

When I used to push ctrl+alt+del, windows task manager would come up....now
it does nothing. A program asked me if I would like to have the option of
pushing one button at a time... I said yes... Does this have anything to do
with the fact that I lost the task manager on ctrl+alt+del.

Hi,

Try ctrl+shift+escape. Does this help?

No?

Click start/run, type C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\TASKMGR.EXE and click ok. Does
this do it?

If niether of these brings up task manager, then you likely are infected
with a virus. Both Klez and Yaha are known to cause this issue. While you
clean up the damage (and the easiest way to do this is by starting with
stinger from http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/ and running it in Safe mode),
you can create and use the emergency tools described by MVP Doug Knox here:

Sounds like you turned on Sticky Keys. (Control Panel, Acessibility
Options, Keyboard, remove Checkmark, Apply)
