I no longer have CTRL ALT DELETE Functions.

[Guest]

Well I guess the subject says it all. None of the accounts on my computer
have the use of CTRL ALT DELETE anymore not even the main one. Is this caused
by spy-ware and should i even be worried? Is there a way to fix this? Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

See if you can access it other ways. Try going to the start menu, run, and
type taskmgr Or browse for the file and double-click to run it.

While it may be spyware or viruses, if this is the only thing affected, it
could be a problem with one of the keys. Some people never use alt, for
example, and may not realize that the key is dysfunctional or remapped
somehow.

I have tried spy ware removers and have run the key diagnostic and have not
as o9f yet gotten access back. When I tried the startmenu->run->tasmgr it
said that another program was running that application. Would this knowledge
limit the number of viruses that it could be or are there just so many its
immpossible to tell? Ill continue running diffrent spyware removers thank you
for the help.

I would like to edit my last entry but it seems I cant. I just got back
ctrl-alt-delete functions but I can only see the running applications and
that is all. The tabs that are supposed to be there are not. Again I dont
know if this would help narrow the spyware/virus down but I hope it helps
somewhat. Thank you.

Press Ctrl + Tab to change tabs. Press Alt + F4 to exit. Dbl click a graph body or border to toggle view mode.

This is not a problem. You dbl clicked the border.
