I cannot get ctrl alt del to function. After wanting a cable mocem for some months on end I finally decided to splurge and the only firewall or I got supposedly came with Optimum online. I am in NYC by the way. My computer got infected so ran te Norton 2002 antivirus. I now have a sygate firewall and spybot. The problem is ctrl alt del does not work!!!!!! I cannot make a boot disk either. Once I connect to the internet the computer freezes. These crashes happen all the time but never did before I got the cable modem. I have 1 60 GB hard drive that has 30 GB of free space. How can I isolate the problem and ix it. Is it the system.ini file. HELP!

There is only one way you can be 99 percent sure is to format your hard drive. not a very pleasant task and not one to be taken if your not sure how.
Summary: You have two CTRL keys, it's doubtful that both would go bad at same time. Note that system has to be at least somewhat working for Ctrl/Alt/Del to work. If the system is totally locked up, Ctrl/Alt/D...
Summary: Dear Max: Thanks for the kind words. The problem is, Ctrl/Alt/Del SHOULD work on your PC, unless it was disabled by a program or user. (I take it, you checked that out too.) At some point, try it out...
