I have a desktop machine doing something troubling...

It's a Dell PWS-380, WinXP-Pro SP2.
In an remote desktop session, I was wanting to see if a specific process 
was running, so I right-clicked the task bar and chose TaskManager.  I got 
the hour glass icon for about a second, then nothing - for quite a long 
time.

I went to the desk and logged in locally.  Same thing.  I did a "chkdsk 
/f" command and rebooted.

Logging back in (locally) I did see a gray icon for VIPRE Enterprise.  Its 
agent version and definitions were current.  I initiated a deep scan. 
(Hopefully, none of this is relevent, but VIPRE/SBamSvc was the process 
for which I was originally hunting.)  So far, VIPRE has not detected any 
malware (yet!).

I still cannot run Task Manager on this machine - either by right-clicking 
the task bar and selecting it, or by Ctrl-Alt-Del and clicking the Task 
Manager button.

SO, I go to the machine and run "taskmgr.exe".  To that I get a response - 
the file is not there.

Any ideas as to what could have whacked that file?  Thanks!
