Task manager

[John]

When I try to open Task Manager, the window flashes on
the screen and then disappears. How do I get it to
remain on the monitor?

Hi John
This behavior can be caused by a virus. One of two:

After doing a virus scan just to be sure and you still have the problem, try
this
Repair the Task Manager:
Taskmgr.exe should be listed in the %SystemRoot%\system32 directory. If you
cannot find the file, you can extract it from the Windows XP CD. To do so,
you can perform the following steps:
Insert your WinXP CD into the CD Drive
Click Start>Run
type cmd press Enter.
At the Command Prompt mode, type the following command:
Example:-
F: (This assumes the F is the CD Drive)
cd \i386
expand taskmgr.ex_ %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\taskmgr.exe

Hope this assists you.
