I cannot run Task Manager through pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE, or right-clicking
the Task bar and clicking on "Task manager." When I try either method to
open Task manager, the computer does not take any action at all, but when I
used the Emergency Taskmanager's copies of Regedit, MSConfig and Command
Prompt backup's(http://windowsxp.mvps.org/ToolsQuit.htm), they work perfectly.
Also, when I go to Run -> Cmd.exe OR Run -> Regedit.exe, Command Prompt
appears breifly with a lot of corrupt-looking characters and the motherboard
beeps once, before giving me the error message "C:/Windows/ system32/cmd.com
The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instuction. CS:0557 IP:ffe4 OP:fe ff
1d 09 21 Choose 'close' to terminate the application;" choosing "close" or
"ignore" both cause the application to exit. This same error messgae for
CMD.exe and Regedit.exe.
I've scanned my C: and D: drives for all viruses and spyware (D: is a
separate portion of C: which has encrypted backup files, in case of a system
failure), both come up completely clean. Can someone please help me get
these to work again?
