i can't access task manager. When I right click on the
task bar and click on task manager nothing happens.
Alternatively when I press ctrl alt delete the task
manager flashes on the screen and then disappears, at the
same time a green box (like CPU usage screen) appears in
the left most part of the task bar but when i put my
mouse near it it disappears. I guess that I could live
without task manager but my virus software appeared to be
playing up so i tried to remove it and reinstall but it
won't reinstall because it says it is still running which
i can't stop it doing because I can't access my task
mamager. my virus software is mcafee and when I go to
add or remove programs it is still listed but has no size
listed
any help solving this problem would be enormously helpful
i have scanned my computer for viruses and downloaded a
number of patches hoping to fix the problem and nothing I
have tried has worked
thankyou in advance to anyone that can give me a clue to
resolving this

Sorry I can't help cos I am getting exactly the same thing
although my anti virus is Norton. Both Task Manager and
Norton launch and work fine in Windows Safe Mode but
refuse point blank in Normal Mode. I've scanned with
SpyBot, CWShredder and Norton in Safe Mode and they all
come up clear.
