99% certain that this is malware, follow the instructions in
http://www.palmersoft.co.uk/support/virusfaq.htm

To get task manager to work you can try copying the file
C:\WINDOWS\system32\taskmgr.exe to another location and renaming it to
mytm.com. Now run your new file and it should open the task manager.

and it worked when i opened the new file. how do i replace or edit the old?
becasue ctrl alt del dont breing up the new file. also i cant get into

Hi,

I am in the same boat as Sondra. this problem just started within the last
week or so. I have run every possible spyware, malware, virus and worm scan
and removed everything that showed up (which wasn't much.) I tried all of
the fixes below, nothing worked except the renaming busisness, but, like
Sondra, I can't get into msconfig. Oddly, regedit was restored with one of
the fixes I tried. What else can I do, this is ridiculous!!!!

Thanks for anymore help.

The latest: I just discovered that my disk defragmenter either won't open or
has disappeared. Is this related or a separate problem?

 

[Guest]

Hi
I am in the same situation as Philly lawyer. task manager, Regedit,
msconfig and and disk fragmenter flash on for about 1 second and then go off.
I ran a scan with Norton anti-virus in Safe Mode but nothing showed up except
when I rebooted my task bar, address bar and the background for my control
panel are gone and replaced with a "sick" beige color. Like Philly lawyer I
tired the fixes listed here but to no avail. This all began about 1 week ago.

WOW...you just saved me hours of work! My task mgr had lost it's top menu
bar renduring it useless and wouldn't close without doing a restart. I was
ready to do a radical thing..reinstall the OS...because 'system restore'
couldn't help me (it isn't working either.)
Thanks a million. Lots of other excellent links in there too...Great!

Now I just have to fix one more issue...startup error...."Smartbridge
alerts....entry point not found".

Task Manager Menu Bar and Tabs Are Not Visible:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=193050

It's an old "feature" that pre-dates Win XP.

Re: Smartbridge Alerts entry point not found, what is the full complete message,
and what internet service provider do you use? Some ISPs use a process as part of
their support system to allow users to submit files and information. It is not
necessary and can be disabl;ed from your startup group through msconfig> Startup
tab. The name of the app will depend on your ISP, so have a look through your
startup group.

If you are using a beta version of IE7, see here:
