ctrl+alt+delete(at the same time)problem

<p>ok recently i found out that my computer doesn’t respond to the command ctrl+alt+delete(at the same time). Originally as u know a controller thingy is supposed to pop out. I’m sure it’s not the keyboard. Any suggestions?</p>

<p>right click on the taskbar and select the “task manager” option. It does the exact same thing as control alt delete, but isn’t as hit-miss.</p>

<p>problem again. i clicked it but it’s not responding either.</p>

<p>i had the problem for a while that whenever i brought up task manager, it would be real small. try pulling out the edges of the window and double clicking on the field of view, that should maximize it.</p>

<p>what OS are you using?</p>

<p>This can also be a problem with the registry, where a registry key has been modified that prevents you from opening up task manager at all. I found a website with the exact solution to the problem a while ago because my brother’s computer was messed up like this… I’ll try to find and post a link.</p>

<p>First off I’d recommend downloading anti spyware apps like Spybot S&D, Ad Aware, WinPatrol, Spyware Blaster, and Spyware Guard (you can search for all of them and find them).</p>

<p>Read through this page, there are several possible problems and several fixes:</p>

<p>i especially suggest spybody search and destroy</p>

<p>and the Norton Package, is very efficient</p>

<p>**spybot, lol i dont know why i typed spybody (brain lapse… ?)</p>

<p>If you’ve got some version of Windows, then there should be an option to turn on the Sticky Keys option by pressing the shift key 5 times. This is intended for use by disabled people who don’t have the dexterity for key combinations, but it could work here.</p>

<p>thnx everyone but i have another question. I need to make more space on my C drive but my D drive is much bigger. I don’t have anything to erase so i want to make D drive the primary drive where the things get installed onto. Does anyone know how to change the primary drive?</p>

<p>P.S. i moved some program file stuff and there seems to be some kind of malfunctioning in my computer</p>

<p>Why don’t you just specify the D: drive when installing things?<br>
Also, don’t move installed files to another drive. The program that uses the files won’t be able to find them. Some years ago I moved some seemingly innocent files on my C: drive into a new folder; after that the computer would not boot.</p>
