I gotta friend who asked me to fix his laptop but havin some trouble. I used SpybotS&D to get rid of bunch of stuff and it runs smoother, but a handful of programs wont open. Programs that I just installed (Avira AV, Uniblue SpeedUpMyPC, Ad-aware, AVG AV wont even install) wont open. Even the task manager wont open. I ran UniblueRegistryBooster and fixed over a 100 errors, but still no luck. System Restore only goes back to like July, and no restore discs. Any ideas?!?!
The task manager was disable by a virus or malware. You have to fix it in the registry. Start menu< Run regedit and go to edit find. Then type "disabletask" and search. Delete all registry entries that say "disabletaskmanager" or similar. Press F3 to continue this search until no result found. This will restore the ctrl alt delete function.
If you can't get into regedit then you will need a bootable CD with this tool on it. Free software, music, and warez are usually loaded with trojans. Scan everything before running it. It will save you hours of headaches.
There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading; The few who learn by observation;
The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves...
