Recently, the PC I'm using stopped running Java. In addition, at the same time, Task Manager disappeared from the Ctrl+Alt+Delete menu and could not be launched from a CMD window. I attempted to download Java from Sun, but the install failed.

Can anyone here give me an idea what may have caused this and how to rectify the situation?

Thanks in anticipation

what happens when you try to open the task manager with a right click on the desktop

by jiminpa

Is the task manager gone or just greyed out? The simplest solution is usually the right one and my "knee jerk" reaction would be that the domain admin made a change in group policy.
If this is a standalone home PC I would be thinking virus, trojan or something of that sort.
