Task Manager has been disabled by the Admin Error

Error:
I recently got a virus that turned off my task manager and i have been unable to turn it back on. When i hit ctrl+alt+delete i get a message that says "the task manager has been disabled by your admin"



Solution:
Copy and paste this into the run box,it`s another way of achieving the above.That doesn`t mean to say that it will fix the problem.REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

CAT03MSK.dll was not found

In our office we are using ACCPAC Accounting software, which is developed in Visual Basic and back end is Pervasive SQL. Suddenly yesterday when I click the ACCPAC Program shortcut it displays the error

CAT03MSK.dll was not found

I didnt do any changes in my PC but still got this error. Then finally I discovered that autoexec.bat is missing in my PC since I am using windows 98 as OS. I copied the Autoexec from another PC and restarted my PC. Thats it. My ACCPAC is working.
What content is there in AUTOEXEC.BAT file?

SET PATH=R:\RUNTIME;C:\CA_APPSW

The path is not settuped for the program to start so I got this error. If you get this error in windows xp or windows 2000 or windows vista Set it in Control Panel/System.
Another error occured in windows xp for accpac.

Description: Error occurred when activating ACCPAC Data Source.

Code: 1.423

Source: 07:20:28- DS.adsCSOPT

For the above error try installing the latest MSXML.MSI, that would be the solution for that error in all the other OS's.

Minimized Windows Don't Appear on Taskbar

This problem persisits yesterday to me. I tried to minimize my programs, the program icon doesn't appear on the taskbar. When I click CTR+ALT+DEL I can see the program running. As usual I googled and got this solution. I hope it will be helpful to you also.
Open 'Control Panel' and select 'Add/Remove Programs'.
Check for the program entries of WinSrvReg and Friend Greetings.
If found, uninstall the program and reboot.
