oh thanks.. but not having task manager isnt as much of a problem as i 1st
thorght it would, and i dont like the sound of my pc being inoperable so for
the moment ill leave it but if it gives me any more trouble i will use your
method.. but thank you very much, and i hope others find it useful if they
have the same problem. if an one knows of any other way that doesnt involve
potentially making the system inoperable please let me know. THANKS !!!
