My task manager flashes off seconds after it appears. I
used control alt delete when downloading many updates
from microsoft. I don't know why I had so many.Anyway,
some were slow so I might have did damage at that time.
Or new updates damaged it.
 
More likely you have a virus. See www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm,
line 257, Left Column. This small utility will scan for and remove all
currently known variants of the MSBlaster worm, and some instances of those
viruses that can piggy back in with MSBlaster. Then update your antivirus
software and scan your system! Also, download and install the patch for
MSBlaster when prompted by the utility.
 
Additionally, you can work around the Task Manager issue by opening a
Command Prompt window (Start, Run and enter CMD) and using the following
commands:

COPY C:\Windows\System32\Taskmgr.exe C:\Windows\System32\Taskmgr1.exe

Then

C:\Windows\System32\Taskmgr1.exe

The new "copy" of Task Manager should run now.
