Flash question?
Dana:
Go to the very last frame of the movie and right- or control-click; select Actions, and find Stop under, I think, Movie. (It's been a few months since I used Flash, but the stop command should be somewhere in the Actions window.)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
...a digital camera. I want something that is relatively inexpensive, decent quality, and *small*. Something that I could just cart around in my purse.
The Concord 5040 looks like a pretty good deal for the features you want. The only hitch I can see is that a memory card isn't included in the package -- budget at least another $50 for that.

Hivemind Question(s):
How could someone have disabled my task manager without me knowing it, and how can I get it back, and for what purpose would this hypothetical someone have done this thing?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
google 'disable task manager' (no quote) - there are some registry settings that turn it on and off.
So far I don't see why someone would disable it, just how to do it.
eta: One reason an administrator might disable it is to prevent the user from knowing when the admin is running software that spies on the user.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Thanks, Bridget. The good news is that I can hopefully convince higher-ups that a plan involving me learning Flash from scratch isn't their best idea.

Tommy, thanks. I am the administrator. The regedit has also been disabled. I haven't yet found a way to restore them. I ran a system restore to 24 hours previous and they started again, but are gone again this morning. I'm thinking virus now, even though my security software isn't coming up with any viruses. I can't think of anything else that would disable them again as soon as I restarted the computer.
If you come up with any ideas, I'd be grateful.

Yeah, I'm thinking virus now sounds to be the most likely. 'Cuz you pretty much need regedit and the task manager to kill viruses/malware/etc.
Actually, does your security software check for malware? (Adware, spyware, etc.)

Yes, it does, and it didn't find any. Thanks.

Jilli, i love my Pentax Optio S very much. it's teeny, it takes fabulous pictures and it comes with a Lithium/ION battery. my mom just bought a newer model that is 5 megapixels, but it relies on AA batteries. i like being able to just recharge my batteries(i bought an extra). plus the Lithium ones seem to last longer the regular batteries.
