Hi Moo,
This error is due to the Task Manager restrictions in place. To disable
TaskManager restrictions:
For XP Professional:
1.. Click Start | Run.
2.. Enter gpedit.msc at the command line and click OK.
3.. Select User Configuration | Administrative Templates | System |
Ctrl+Alt+Delete Options | Remove Task Manager.
4.. Double-click the Remove Task Manager option from the Group Policy
menu. You can then disable, enable, or set the policy to Not Configured.
Remember: Since the policy in question is called Remove Task Manager, by
disabling the policy, you are actually enabling the Task Manager.
* Disabling or setting this policy to Not Configured should solve the
problem. *
For XP Home & Pro:
Set the DisableTaskMgr value to "0"
