There's a solution to fixing this problem, but requires you to edit the registry. If you are comfortable doing this then follow this link: http://antivirus.about.com/od/windowsbasics/ht/taskmanager.htm It is probably the cause of a virus and once you get this fixed you need to follow the first replied post.

Seems like you didn't do the 8 steps. Please do that before asking for support.

Its not wise to fix the problem before actually removing the virus.

If he needed task manager to do anything specific while trying to remove virus's/help his situation thats all I suggested.. I've had a virus like this before, it disabled task manager, some that disable anti virus's. Sometimes theres a few things to do before you can erase them. None the less it was just a suggestion to how to get it working. You posted on how to remove, I thought that might be covered.
