Disabled ?

Right-click the taskbar,
Select "Task Manager..."

-or-

Press [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Del]
Select [Task Manager]

What error message do you receive?

yes, disabled. there is no error message. on the task
bar, the task manager option is dimmed (unselectable) and
when i use ctrl alt delete, the task manager button is
also not clickable.

Check within the "Group Policy Editor"

[Start]
Run
gpedit.msc
User Configuration
Administrative Templates
System
Logon/Logoff
Disable Task Manager

Set to "Not Configured" if it is enabled.

-------------------------------------------

Check the following registry key to see if the Task
Manager is disabled:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Sys
tem

for the first....it is already set to not configured.

the second...it says 'disable task manager' and the value
data is set to one.

Change the value data of
"Disable Task Manager"
to 0 (zero)

1 = true (yes, disable task manager)
0 = false (no, do not disable task manager)
