You got a virus, theres a virus that disables task manager, theres a registry key somewhere on the internet that can get it back, try a google search

There is a registry hack to enable or disable Windows NT TaskManager. The same registry
hack applies to Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

1. Click Start -> Run. Type in "regedit" (no quotes) and hit Enter.
 
2. Search for HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ System.
 
3. Look for: DisableTaskMgr. Click on REG_DWORD. Value: 1=Enable this key (disables TaskManager); Value: 0=Disable (actually enables TaskManager)
 
4. Close RegEdit
 
5. Reboot your machine.

Let me know if this works .

And as I mentioned above, since the policy is Remove Task Manager, by disabling the
policy, you are enabling the Task Manager.

i think you're right.

If you cant get regedit to open, your basically screwed. Backup files, reinstall windows
