I have a computer running WinXP Home. When I do the 3 fingered salute
nothing happens. What does this mean, other than I won't see the task
manager? Is there something wrong with the installation? Should I
re-install?

Many thanks,

Henry
 
Sounds like you may have a virus. Do a complete system scan with up to date
antivirus software.
 
Hey I have also had this similar problem, and my task manager will not open either, I have discovered that this is one of the main things that the new anti anti virus's are doing, somehow they are disabling taskman.exe so that it is more difficult to shut down the processes that are helping run the virus software. I tracked down the taskman.exe and it will not open when I double click on it, and I have even tried a win xp cd system repair, and this has not fixued the problem, im beggining to think this maybe some registry setting to disable taskman, I really have no clue how to fix this. The virus I had to make this happen was KLEZ virus for which i downloaded some symantec norton quick fix to have it fixed, virus gone, taskman dont work, plz help, ~Masonice
