Sounds like something is wrong with your keyboard.  Try using the ctrl and alt keys on your keyboard that you don't normally use.

OK. First try pressing the start key on your keyboard (it's the one with the flag-like symbol between the Ctrl and Alt keys). If that doesn't help,Try pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete. ONce that window opens, go to the top and click on "File", then choose "New task, (Run...)"\n\ntype in "explorer". That should take care of it.

There are instructions on Microsoft here\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q304148\nI found tweak ui program to be an easier way to undo it. You can download it here\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

Ctrl + Alt + Delete should pop up then end all programs, or whichever you want to end. G'd Luck!

Do what moonsmagicdust said.\n\nSounds like you are using windows xp. You will get the taskbar on pressing ctrl+alt+del only if you go to control panel, go to user accounts, click on "change the way users log on or off", dont choose any options in there, if selected any option unselect it.\n\nThis will help you to start using the ctrl+alt+del keys.\n\nAlternate is press right mouse button on start bar and choose "Task Manager".\n\nHope this helps.

you can restore your program.\nStart>Programs>Accessories> System tools>System restore\n\nRestore it to the previous hour of the deletion action. It will work because I experienced the same problem:)

crtl+alt+del will pop up with the task manager just go to processes and turn off any unnecessary programs. usually the ones you need are being used by SYSTEM ones you dont are used by you.. eg if comp is named "harry" then it wuld show up as HARRY

Have you tried rebooting your system without the dead mouse attached (LOL), then plugging it back in? This might get windows to redetect it, but you'd have to leave the other (wheel) mouse off when you do this.\n\nHave you tried Start, Control Panel, Mouse, and having a look at the Troubleshooting options ?\n\nOr by "mouse" do you mean a touch pad or other inbuilt pointing device? There are options for them also in Control Panel.

Does this happen outside of Internet Explorer?\n\nIn other words, test CTRL-F in other programs like Microsoft Word or Notepad.  Most importantly, we would also need to know if this has worked fine before in the past.\n\n\nIt would appear at this point that perhaps the keys on your keyboard aren't specified the way you think they are.  Laptops are notorious for this.  A lot of them have special function keys that can switch on options to cause certain keys to act differently.\n\n****  UPDATE  ****\n\nDid you try going to Edit -> Find from the menu at the top?  Does that option work correctly?\n\nBecause this doesn't happen in other apps such as Notepad, it's not an issue with your keyboard at least.  That's a good thing!

If you dont have admin rights on the machine, there is not much you can do.\n\nBut to re-enable CTRL + ATL + DEL:\n\nClick START>>RUN>>TYPE gpedit.msc>>Under 'User Configuration' go to ADMINISTRATIVE TEMPLATES>>SYSTEM>>CTRL+ATL+DEL OPTIONS>>DOUBLE-CLICK 'Remove Task Manager'>>Select Disabled>>APPLY>>OK>>EXIT.

Hold down the control key (Ctrl) bottom left of keyboard

The arrow keys are simply not supported in DOS. DOS is a line-based command structure, not a screen-based one. This is also why your mouse won't work either.

You got a sticky ALT or CTRL key...

You can either press Ctrl+Alt+Del twice fast\nor\npress the power button and hold it down for few seconds.

you need to give more information about what kind of system you are using before anyone can help otherwise try ctrl-alt-del :)
