registry/task manager/explorer problems

[Greg B.]

If anyone can help before I pull my hair out it will be
much appreciated.

I was trying to change settings in my registry but I
cannot access it, I type in Regedit, Regedit.exe.,from my
start menu, it opens for approx. 3 secs and conks out on
me, the same thing when entering from a Command prompt.
I am logged as an admin., thinking it may be locked down
but no.

I also am having a problem, with my internet explorer it
kicks me out when trying to open virtual tours on real-
estate websites. I was told that I may have a virus
somewhere.I did do a virus scan several times, but still
the the same issue. A resolution was forwarded to me to

"Visit http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_t.htm and
scroll down
to the topic titled "Task Manager - Control/Alt/Delete -
Doesn't Work", but it did not solve my problem.



Win XP, 512 Ram

If anyone can assist, please do.

Thanks,
The one who is going crazy,
Greg

You have a virus. Likely one of the following:

For additional help see www.dougknox.com, Win XP Utilities, Create Emergency Copies of Critical XP System Utilities. This small VB Program will create backup, usable copies of Task Manger, Regedit and MSConfig (named Taskmgr1.exe, Regedit.com and MSConfig1.exe) in a new folder C:\EmergencyUtil. Many virus programs will intercept these programs, based on their original file name. The modified file names, allow them to be run. Open Windows Explorer to C:\EmergencyUtil and double click the application you need. The next revision will allow you to browse for the folder you want to place the backups in.

Additionally, see the Win XP Utilities section for Startup Programs Tracker. This small utility scans your system for startup programs and running processes. It also allows you to create a log file that can be copied and pasted into a newsgroup post. The contents of the program window are also copied to the Windows Clipboard, automatically. For replies to newsgroup posts, do NOT include the Running Services, unless its absolutely necessary.

registry. Much appreciated, the next one's on me.
