Ctrl+Alt+Del won't bring up Windows Security box

Hi, I bought an eMachine a couple of weeks ago. It has
Windows XP on it. I noticed yesterday that Ctrl+Alt+Del
will not bring up the Windows Security box or Task
Manager. Is there a setting I need to change or is
something wrong with the software? Thanks!

thanks, I'll try this when I get home. But, from what
I've read, if my task manager was disabled, I would be
getting a pop-up error message saying that the
adminstrator has disable it or something like that. I'm
not getting that error. Ctrl+Alt+Del just doesn't do
anything. No Windows Security or Task Manager. But, no
error message either.
 
Are you sure nothing happens? They don't start then close straight away. If you type taskmgr in Start Run what happens?

It doesn't appear that anything happens. It doesn't pop-
up and then go away quickly. I did a couple of virus
scan and updates and no viruses were found.

I'll try typing that taskmgr in Start-Run later when I
get home and see what that does.

Thanks for your help!

Post back what happens. Also type msconfig and regedit and see if they start.

goto control panel-->user accounts - click on " change how user logs on" .
just follow the instructions. does this help?
 
okay, typing taskmgr in the run line works. Also,
regedit and msconfig work. But, for some reason, the
Ctrl+Alt+Del shorcut is disabled. Maybe not a big issue,
just annoying. Is there another way I can get to the
Windows Security box other than Ctrl+Alt+Del?
