Does Ctrl+Shift+Esc work?

Try the System File Checker...go to the Start Menu and click Run..., then type sfc /scannow (note the space). You will need your XP CD to run this. Then, restart and try again.

Have you got the option to try another keyboard? - could be a faulty key.

If you got to Start - Run - type in taskmgr - do you get there with that?

no it only says something like this file is used by another program at the moment..

its working again i did the scan with my xp cd thanks all!

Thanks for the update!
Others with the same problem will appreciate it!

That means that it was most likely a system file that became corrupted, and the scan fixed the file.

yes after i runned the scan and restartet it worked but now i have shut down my pc and started it up again and now its not working again

[help meee]

this is [bleep]ing lame! sry to say it, but its now working again it wasn't the scannow thing that worked it just worked temporarily, of course because it fixed all the problems, but i found out what it was because i had the same thing 2 times before...
its the winupdate.exe the windows updater that sort of tries to update EVEN though i got it disabled, you know you can do that in your control panel and then system... but i run ed regedit, and searched for winupdate and i deleted the one i found and i restarted and now my task manager works perfect
what the [bleep] is Microsoft doing?

some other way to terminate this totally??? so it doesn't happen again...
