There has to be a way to get to the task manager when
the system freezes and the mouse is not available. Is
there a shortcut key?

Thanks,
Jason
 
Hi Jason,

ctrl+shift+escape

If it flashes open, then closes, then you likely have a virus. Several of
them cause this behavior. See www.dougknox.com and check the utilities for
instructions on making emergency copies of critical system tools. This will
give you a workaround until the virus can be cleansed.
