re: Task Manager closes when opened Sunday, June 20, 2004 at 6:44 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by James (1 messages posted) I also had the same problem, the offending file was located at C:/windows/system 32/TASKMAR.EXE. It was a hidden file about 19 KB. I found it using Sysinternals Process explorer. You Can Find this program at WWW.sysinternals.com. I believe it is freeware or requires a donation or something. I also found a series of files (again in system 32 folder) they were 24KB large and were a series of eight or nine random letters followed by .exe (xxxxxxxx.exe) i believe these to be some sort of trojan horse files. Try using the RAV intivirus websites online virus scan it is very effective and very thurough. good luck!
