How do I enable my Task Manager?

[Guest]

I have recently upgraded from Windows 98 to Windows XP (Service Pack-2).
After upgradation, whenever I do ctrl-alt-delete it says my "Task Manager is
disabled by my administrator". This is my home PC and I am the Administrator.
The PC has my daughter as a second user and she is also an administrator. But
even when I remove my daughter's user account, I get the same message on
ctrl-alt-del. I am unable to access my Task Manager. I need to know HOW DO I
ENABLE MY TASK MANAGER ??? Somebody help me please!!!

First, make sure that the computer is completely virus/malware-free:

If you are sure the computer is clean:
