    Whenever i hit ctl+alt+delete to go to the task manager, the task manager screen appears but when i move my cursor towards the screen it closes. The same thing happens when i type 'msconfig' into run. What is going on? Thanks[ :(]

    Almost sounds like a software problem over anything else. Have you ran the full lineup of virus and anti-spyware programs on it?

    I remember hearing the same type of thing happen on this one persons Sony Viao. He thought there was some crazy spyware and stuff one it, but it turned out that from spilling coffee on his keyboard, it shorted something out and made strange signals be sent to the operating system.

    Have you spilled anything on your computer recently?
