someone will eventually have the answer. The
ctrl+alt+del keyboard shortcut does not bring up the task
manager on my eMachine with Windows XP. BUT, I can click
on the task bar and pull up the task manager or type
taskmgr in the run bar and both of those methods work.
But, Ctrl+Alt+Del does nothing at all.

I've reset my computer back to the day I bought it (2
weeks ago) and that didn't help.

I've ran virus scan after virus scan and I found
nothing.

I've turned off the welcome sreen. That didn't help.

I can't reinstall the Windows XP CD because they didn't
include one. Now, they did include 3 disks with all the
software on it. I guess it could be on one of those 3
disks. But, I really don't want to have to reinstall all
the software if I don't have to.

There's got to be a way so the computer associates
Ctrl+Alt+Del with the task manager. I just don't know
where to go to fix the setting.

It may not even be a big deal. I don't know. If it's no
big deal, then I'll drop it and just live with it.

line 198 (enable or disable ctrl/alt/delete) click on
it and run it thru.The site is run by a microsoft
MVP,lots of other fixes also.try the above site.

.
also your copy of XP's should be on your hard drive
partition.It's called a destructive restore,when you run
it.It puts it back you even have to do the eula's
again.,H/P pumping F 5 key at start-up takes you there.
