This error message comes up when I try to run the task
manager

The application or DLL C:\Windows\System32\VDMDBG.dll is
not a valid Windows image. PLease check this against your
installation diskette.

I did a system restore and it did not help the problem.
Any suggestions?

Get a new copy from your CD.

Type MSConfig in Start - Run then Expand File or
Type sfc /scannow in Start - Run

You'll need to be an admin.

>run sfc /purgecache and then sfc /scannow from command
prompt and check again.

then boot to xp cd and recovery console and change to
drive letter holding xp cd and expand d:\i386\vdmbg.dl_
c:\windows\system32\vdmbg.dll(d is the drive letter that
contains xp cd if yours is different use that letter)

having said that several viruses including klez cause
taskmanager not to open so i think cause is virus and
you need to run full system scan and remove virus.
