Then try to bring task manager up again by CTRL+ALT+Del. If it doesnt' stay up, then something in task manager has to be deleted. If the SYSTEM CONFIGURATION UTILITY disappears after you typed "msconfig" too, then you need to find MSCONFIG file (usualy in C:/WINDOWS/PCHEALTH/HELPCTR/Binaries) and rename it to MSCONFIG.TXT {if your original file shows the extension of the file too - MSCONFIG.exe - then you need to rename it to MSCONFIG.TXT.exe Double click on MSCONFIG.TXT and disable all startups. You just need to figure out what program prevents the task manager by allowing each program to STARTUP one-by-one. After you find out, find and delete that program.
