What processes are running? CTRL ALT DEL, and post back what you have running.

What happens when you type in regedt32 in the run command?

i have no programs running. only the zone alarm

i typed in regedit32 and it says windows cannot find regedit32. make sure you typed it properly then try again. to search for a file ........

It's not regedit32.exe, just regedt32.

Csubi, ya don't type in CTRL ALT DEL, you press those buttons from the keyboard. That opens up Task Manager, from there click on the Processes tab and post back what you have running.

Press and hold CTRL ALT, then press DEL and let go.
