Control, alt, delete, but the task manager only appears
for a second or two, then disappears before I can click
on any program running or not responding. How can I get
it to stay on my screen?

When you indicate it does not stay on the screen, are there any other
windows open? I know that seems basic but have to ask.
Does this happen when all other applications are closed?
What is your operating system and service pack?
What is going on that you are looking to task manager for?
- is there a performance issue or some other application hanging that
you are attempting to control?

Let us know. Try to be as specific as you can so we can fully understand.

Check your settings here: For Pro

Start/Run/gpedit.msc. User Configuration/Administrative
Templates/System/Crtl+Alt+Del Options. In the right pane double click Remove
Task Manager and enable it.

Also, if you have disabled the Alerter Service, CAD will be disabled. If
neither of these are the case and the Task Manager only opens for a few
seconds, then closes:

This behavior can be caused by a virus. One of three:

If this is not the case: Check your settings here

Taskmgr.exe should be listed in the %SystemRoot%\system32 directory. If you
cannot find the file, you can extract it from the Windows XP CD. To do so,
you can perform the following steps:

a. Insert your Windows XP CD into your CD-ROM.
b. Click Start, Run, type cmd and press Enter.
c. At the Command Prompt mode, type the following command:

For example, if the drive letter of your CD-ROM is F, you can type the
following commands:

F:
cd \i386
expand taskmgr.ex_ %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\taskmgr.exe
