If you are on a domain, the domain admin may have locked the domain from using this command.

If you are sure that you have the rights, then you need to look in your policy and see what this is disabled.

Check this:

Click Start, Run, type gpedit.msc and click OK.
Navigate to this path
User Configuration
=> Administrative Templates
==> System
===> Ctrl+Alt+Delete Options

See if that helps,

you can also go to the control panel

Start> settings> Control panel>User Accounts> Change the way user logs off

and unchecked those 2 options
 
HOW TO: Enable or Disable the CTRL+ALT+DELETE Sequence for Logging On in Windows XP

In Pro, Task Manager can be disabled or enabled in Group Policy.

Start/Run/gpedit.msc. User Configuration/Administrative
Templates/System/Crtl+Alt+Del Options, see Remove Task Manager

Other possibilities.

Set the DisableTaskMgr value to "0"

Enable/Disable Task Manager:

Make sure you have not installed programs like TweakUI or similar which have any number of options for disabling this and that in XP.
