Does anyone know how to change the taskmanager?

Jul 10, 2007 8:50AM PDT

I don't know how to explain it normally the task manager is brought up by pressing ctrl alt delete. Now for some odd reason it has switched to ctrl alt esc. Is there anyway I can get it back to like it was before? Thank you.

You say "ctrl alt esc" are you sure its not ctrl+shift+esc

Michelle, Go to the link below and under the letter "T" scroll down to "Task Manager - Control/Alt/Delete - Doesn't work" where you'll find several possible fixes.
