Post by: grutinator on July 04, 2006, 11:59:41 PM
idk kno really anything about computers, and i read someting about this in another thread that sparked this question. it sayed to see and make sure your needed/wanted files are realy running by using ctrl-alt-del, but my computer is the only one i kno of that nothing pops up and tells my what im running when i try this. is there a setting i need to set up for this? i thiought all computers are made with this function built in? cus, ever since i can remember ctrl-alt-del has never worked on this comp. thanks

Holding down all three buttons at the same time produces no result?  What kind of computer do you have?

it tried the start>run>taskmgr thing, it says "another program is currently using this file" and the computer has been this way since i've owned it so i dont think i would've screwed with anything triing to change a background or something, cus its possible, i hardly kno how to play solitare.:hick:  its a "compaq presario 3400+ AMD sempr0n processor" or at least thats what it says on the front of the thing.

You may have a virus. Run any anti-virus software?
