Hey llamaturgy or any of my other computer-savvy friends!!!
My computer at home is acting severely wonky lately and I cannot for the life of me figure out why. One major problem I have, I need someone with better computer troubleshooting skills than me to help me fix!
You know how on every Windows computer from XP to 3.1, you click Ctrl-Alt-Delete to bring out a dialog box where you can either close out a locked program, or force the computer to restart? Well, all of a sudden, my computer doesn't bring up that dialog box anymore. You press the magic "Crtl-Alt-Delete" sequence and NOTHING HAPPENS! Computer has no idea what you are trying to do. This becomes very problematic when a program DOES lock up, then the computer is completely useless. The only thing to do is to force hard shut off by pressing the power button.
I tried searching the internet for "Enable/Disable Ctrl-Alt-Delete", but have found nothing that applies to my problem. Suggestions, anyone, please?
