Roger, Have You Tried System Restore.??
Jan 27, 2005 6:51AM PST

Click on Start-All Programs-Accessories-System Tools-System Restore. When the SR window loads, select the option to "Restore my computer to an earlier time", then click on the "Next" button. When that loads to the "Calendar" window, choose a restore point date that was before your SP2 installation.

Hope this helps.

Roger, If doing a System Restore doesn't correct the problem 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 solutions.
