Ok just to tell you im the Administrator of my Computer.

Ok here it goes.

Whenever my computer starts to slow down or one of my Game or Programs freeze I use the Task manager, But it says Disabled by your administrator well unfortunitaly I am the administartor and I dont disable \*\*\*\* all.

Anyways not only is the Task manager disabled so is my Registry Edit I dont know why.

Not the only problem my Internet is Slowing down, Some pages dont load, and some pages dowt load correctly. Like either some images are missing or whatever.

All these problems direct to

Serevice Pack 2 since I downloaded it Windows Update it asked me to and ever since I downloaded that my COmputer been trouble everywhere.

Shouold I Uninstall?

Sounds like a virus or worm to me. Usually regedit and tm get turned off so you can’t kill the process - also any software firewalls and av usually gets killed as well.

go to start  
then "run"  
type “cmd”

when the black box comes up type this at the prompt: (are you sure its just “font” and not “fonts?”)

“cd c:\windows\font”

when it switches type

“attrib -h-s-r \_magic2.scr”

then type

“del \_magic2.scr”

see if that works
