I have an eMachine that’s a few years old, running XpPro sp3. While checking my system for clutter or malware, I found that I could no longer access Task Manager via the taskbar right-click nor crtl-alt-del. In searching for a fix for that I also found that regedit will no longer start either.
I’ve tried the unhook.inf utility, as well as the command line REG entry that was supposed to unlock it. I’ve also used Defender, Syamntec AV, and OneLiveCare to search for issues but nothing has been found. As a last resort, I ran a system restore to a point about one month ago. It failed upon rebooting.
Has anyone else experienced this and if so, how do I fix it.
