| When trying to access the task manager (Alt-ctrl-del) on
| Windows XP the window pops up for a split second then
| disappears. When the task manager window disappears, a
| little green box appears on the bottom right hand of the
| task bar, and disappears as soon as you move your mouse
| over it. Pressing Alt-ctrl-del to get the window up again
| simply produces more green boxes in the task bar rather
| than re-booting.
| Has anyone else come across this problem? Is it a virus or
| something & how can I get into the task manager to find
| out!? AL
