I'm almost positive this has been posted before, but I searched and came up empty handed, so heres the problem:

ctrl alt del does nothing. also, cmd.exe wont run, if I type it in run it says "already in use"

please, if you could solve my problem, or refer me to the topic I was looking for, then getting a mod to delete this, thanks.

An alternative is start>run>taskmgr .

virus ate your windows.

some viruses change windows files to disable taskmanager, and a billion other programs like CMD prompt. Ive had it happen, you gotta reinstall windows.

You gots the spywares! They have loaded a program (in cmd.exe - thats why its in use) to stop you from loading taskmon.exe, etc. Get AVG Antispyware, update, and Scan in Safe Mode
