Task Manager Problem

[Guest]

Task Manager will not initiate. It shows on the screen for a split second and
disapears. This started happening a couple weeks ago.

Thanks,

Lou,

This is usually caused by malware / viruses. Try Trend Micro's Sysclean
package (free), it's capable of eliminating keyloggers, trojans etc. Full

Tried all that was recommended but without success. In addition I can't run
MSCONFIG either. It does the same as Task Mgr.. i.e., it starts for a split
second then stops.
