When I do Alt-ctrl-delete, or click on the Task Manager Icon in the windows system 32 file, in Win 7 it brings up somthing else.

How do i correct this? It used to work.

Thanks!!

Welcome, Bob!

I am not sure what are you asking though.

Pressing ctrl-alt-del brings me to a screen with options to lock the computer, switch user, change password, log off, and start the task manager.

If you just need the task manager, then you can right-click on the taskbar and choose the task manager from the pop-up menu.

I have never before tried clicking on the task manager icon in the system32 folder - it's so much easier from the taskbar, but I tried it now and it starts the task manager right away, as one would expect.

So, are you saying this is not the behavior you observe? If not, then what exactly happens when you do this?

It brings up a screen giving various choices. The last choice is start task manager. Thats what happens on my computer.

If you feel it is not working, you can try in a Administrator account, type cmd in search. In CMD, type sfc /scannow. See it that helps.

He means selecting the manager from the ctrl alt del screen.
Try opening the command prompt as the administrator and typing in :

sfc /scannow

It sounds like something may have gotten mixed up in the Windows settings, and this command will scan and try to repair corrupted files.

Haha you posted first!
That has been happening a lot to me recently

Happens to us all. Not a problem. The OP now knows that several members have the same solution.

Hello Bob, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Not sure if this is what you mean, but you press CTRL + SHIFT + ESCAPE, or right click on taskbar and click on Task Manager, to open Task Mananger now in Windows 7.

Hope this helps,

What does it bring up? As Shawn has stated, the keyboard shortcut is Ctrl + Shift + Esc.

I think the OP is new to 7, and skipped Vista entirely, so he is expecting the system to work like XP... where alt-ctrl-del went directly to task Manager.

But he opened task manager by the system32 file as well, and came up with something different :sarc:

Hmmm... you're right. I missed that.

Don't worry, I do it all the time

No matter how I attempt to open Task Manager, including the icon in sys 32, I get somthing else with a services tab on the bottom right.

I have tried the scan command in cmd but it says there are no errors.

This all started happening about a week ago and i have no viruses or bots.

HELP!!

Hello Bob,

This is normal to have a Services button on the bottom right to open the Services window when you have the Services tab opened instead of another one.

Please upload a picture of this unknown thing using the Snipping Tool. Thanks.

Task Manager has a services tab on the bottom right.

I used the attachement to up-load, if I need to send in another manner let me know. I can't cut and paste.

That is the task manager, but without the window around it.
There was something that changed this but I forgotten!
Can someone remind me ?
