What happens when you go to Start | Run and type in either msconfig or
regedit and hit enter. Do them both. Do both of these run ok or bomb
out? If both bomb out too, then that means there is malware on the
system you haven't caught yet. Are you doing he malware cans in safe mode?

Right-click your c:\windows folder and choose Search
Put in "taskmgr" and select the "search hidden" and "search system" options
under
"more options"

See if the search turns up copies of "taskmgr.exe", in these 2 folders

C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache
C:\WINDOWS\system32

If not, then if the search locates taskmgr.exe in another folder, then try
copying it to those 2 folders

[Otherwise, if you can locate a copy of taskmgr.ex_ ,then copy it to c:
Then start > run> cmd

cd\
expand TASKMGR.EX_ taskmgr.exe

Then copy the newly expanded taskmgr.exe from c: to the 2 folders mentioned
previously ]
