Hi indranilchaudhuri!

That sounds pretty bad - have you scanned the computer for viruses thoroughly?

If you have (or as soon as the viruses were removed), find out, if the files still exist. (%WINDIR%\regedit.exe, %WINDIR%\system32\TASKMGR.EXE, %WINDIR%\system32\CMD.EXE) If so, try starting them directly.

Does that help?

Greetings,
Nepomuk
