    So i just bought a laptop and it was openbox when i bought it. The person who had it before me registered it and everything and when i go to properties for My Computer, it says Registered to a DTM. Im wondering how i can change this. I tried google and found some solutions but then i came upon another problem. I have no Run in the Start menu. Oh, and one more thing. It says that the task manager has been disabled by the admin. I am the admin and the task manager was working when i got the laptop. How can i get it back?
    Please Help. TIA.

    With the XP Start Menu...
    Right click the Start button | Properties |
    Start Menu tab | Customize button |
    Advanced tab | Scroll down and check:
    Run command | Click OK | Click Apply | Click OK


    With the Classic Start Menu...
    Right click the Start button | Properties |
    Start Menu tab | Customize button |
    Check: Display Run | Click OK | Click Apply | Click OK


    If the above did not work try # 57 on the right-hand side here, http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

    For the task manager issue download and run this REG fix and double-click it.
