Hi shinakuma9!

Please right click this LINK, choose SAVE LINK AS or SAVE TARGET AS, and save it somewhere on your computer where you will remember where it is located. Then find the file on your computer and double-click it to run it. Click YES to the warning: Are you sure you want to add the information in FILE LOCATION HERE\taskmanager.reg to the registry? Then reboot your computer and once rebooted see if you can't get the Task Manager to show now

If the above doesn't work to get the Task Manager working again, then please do the following because most likely it was disabled due to some sort of Malware on your computer:

Please go to the Malware Forum and run all the steps located in the START HERE. These self-help tools will help you clean up 70% of problems on your own. If you are still having problems after doing the steps, then please post a HiJackThis Log in THAT forum. If you are unable to run and/or post a HJT log, then state that in your initial post in the topic you create in that forum.
