windows task manager error

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?)

Whenever I try to open my windows task manager it shows up for a second then
just disappears. I dont understnad why, it does it for me either way i try to
open it, using CTRL + ALT + DELETE or by right clicking and choosing windows
task manager. I also have another problem where whenever I use internet
exploror i get this box at the bottom showing xsdjc.offeroptimizer (something
like that) but i dont know how to get rid of it, if i click on it nothing
pops up or anything. I really need help with both of these problems.
