re: Task Manager closes when opened Monday, August 4, 2003 at 5:50 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Doug (1 messages posted) I just got this problem and fixed it. There is a screen saver program I downloade from a news group and click on by accident. It put a file in (windows 2000) winnt\system32 called wincfg.scr.. you will also see it in you screen saver list. I did not have this file as my screen saver. I changed the extention on the file since it is in use and will not delete, reboot and task mgr work again.. good luck and be carrfull what you click On Monday, March 10, 2003 at 9:09 am, Bob B wrote: >Can you spell virus?
