A few probs - advice req !

I dunno what the hell I've done, or installed to create the problems, but a) the windows task manager will not stay open, opens for less than a second then closes. b) Device manager is not showing either via My Computer or Control Panel - what I'm getting is "Console root" whatever the hell that is. Need assistance BAD !

Concole root lost me too bro.
But just a bit more info on your set up might help you a bit better then what you have posted above..
O/S H/W etc...

Got the bas***d !!! It was the W32 Yaha virus ! Used the "fixyaha" tool from Symantec, now all is (reasonably) well.

Nevermind... you got it right bud. Pretty nasty virus eh?! Damned thing wont let you open your windows task manager to shut it down. Tricky, tricky!

Use a good AV solution in the first place. Just the fact that you have been infected tells that your AV sucks..
