Hello, Before asking this question, I've followed all the steps mentioned in the thread (http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/xpprograms/thread/769d9c71-94d2-4cf4-af3f-f403c4b524e7) by Malkeleah from ElephantBoyComputers. So if he can help, that will be great. I have the same problem reported by many members and after going through the various threads and taking the necessary steps, I still see that problem. The task manager, registry editor is disabled. So I ran Malware removal programs like MBAM, Super-antispyware and these programs reported trojans, etc on my machine. At the end, these programs removed those malware successfully. Then, I ran http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/regtmcmdrestore.vbs as suggested by Elephantbuycomputers and it showed "Finished" at the prompt meaning task manager enabled. However, when I try to go to task manager or regeditor, it comes up for a second, and automatically vanishes. The same is happening with regeditor. The window opens for a second and closes automatically. I've run 3 upto-date antiviruses - MBAM, SuperAAntiSpyWare and Avast - in both quick scan and full scan mode. Still the task manager and regedit are not working. Can someone please help on how to fix this issue. 1 person needs an answerI do too
