I don't know much about computers and I have a new Dell.
with Windows XP. I thought I wanted to down load
Hotbar.com to get the emotion icons. I started to
download but then I got worried and I tried to stop it. I
seemed to keep running. I didn't want to give my personal
info., but I couldn't get the info box off my screen.
Finally, I cllicked Ctrl and Alt. and Delete and I think
I stopped the application. Now I have a little window on
my screen that says taskmgr. exe. -Application Error. It
says the application failed to initialize properly
(0xc0000142). Click OK to terminate the application.
I've clicked OK and nothing happens. It won't go away. I
can't even see what I'm type now because the window is
blocking it. I also tried to get hep from Microsoft
Support.com and I read where a worm may have been
starting there. So now I'm really worried and I don't
know what to do. I don't want to just leave my screen on
with this window. Can someone please advise me? Thank you
very much.
