I got a new computer but now for some reason when I press ctrl+alt+delete it says "Task Manager has been disabled by the Administrator" but I though I was the administrator and I havehn't disabled it. Someone plz help. Oh and when I go to shut down my computer it stops on 'Windows is Shtting Down'.

You may want to check your user settings to make sure that you are, in fact, set as admin, and that no settings have been changed.
Somtimes manufacturers disable things like Task Manager that they think the user will be too foolish to understand.

Start: Control Panel: User Settings
Make sure you are in Classic View. If it says "Pick a Category" along the top of the control panel, then you need to click "Switch to Classic View" in the left hand frame.

Try this option: Log in as administrator Click Start Click Run Type gpedit.msc click OK In the Group Policy settings window Select User Configuration Select Administrative Templates Select System Select Ctrl+Alt+Delete options Select Remove Task Manager Double-click the Remove Task Manager option Disable Remove Task Manager, by disabling the policy, you are enabling the Task Manager.Goodluck
