    your mate has probly unbound task manager to ctrl+alt+delete, your mate either has a virus wich is ----in his pc up or he has removed the key bind some how. ive had a look around but cant find any setting so the virus thing is the best bet.

    might be pointless, but have him try the following:

    ctrl+shift+esc

    also, start>>run "taskmgr"

    I believe its a virus, download Avast. Do a boot scan. Enjoy.

    Or spyware actually.
    Download Spyboy S&D and ad-aware personal.

    Like all Micro$oft products you can never know what's wrong. If i were you i'd reinstall everything. A fresh windows install, no restore no nothing. And dont reinstall windows over a broken one...

    you can completely remove unwanted programs by regedit then add/remove programs, then finally run your adaware/spybot, or if you dont understand how to do any of that, do a windows restart i guess....
