Since loading demos of processguard, TDS, I cannot access my task manager - it is "greyed out" and when I try to go to it from windows help, it says "your administratot has disabled this function" - well, I AM the administrator, and i certainly have NOT disabled the function - can you give me a work-around to allow me to enable Task Manager? thanks!
Maybe this happens to prevent difussion between the two programs. Does processguard run in the system tray as a running process or not? Jimbob
Here is something interesting, i also installed them on my desktop computer as well, and I do not get the task manager disabled on that installation -...
After installing TDS3 did you reboot before installing ProcessGuard or vice versa? What version of windows are you using? Did you have a previous trial version of PG before installing this one? Have you checked that Task Manager is on your Security list? If not add it TM is usually shown as C:\windows\system32\taskmgr.exe or whatever drive letter or windows folder you use. HTH Pilli
tds was installed first, reboot, then next day i installed processguard. no, i didn't do anything differently for the 2 installs. When you say "on your security list" what exactly do you mean? it is in the correct location C:\windows\system32\taskmgr.exe I am beginning to think that this may have nothing to do with the process guard program, but a setting on my laptop.........
Hi oshawabob, Try following these instructions and see if they help: Error Message: "Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator". Nick
NICK: YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!! This did it. It even worked after a reboot. If you are ever in Oshawa, I'll buy you a beer! Seriously, I really appreciate the help...... All the Best of the Holiday Season
Glad to have helped. Have you been using any XP tweaking apps (like TweakXP, X-Setup, etc)? Many have the option to disable task manager. Nick
