Task manager problem - WinXP

[timcheng00]

Hi all,

when i ctrl-alt-del or run 'taskmgr' the only the network ID window shows. There is no menu bar or window border. Does anyone know what's wrong and how to fix it?

here is a screenshot: Link

I've seen that before but I can't remember how exactly it's fixed. What about right clicking or hitting esc

esc just closes it and right click doesnt do anything

Why are there no menu, tabs or scrollbars when I open Task Manager in Windows XP?

When you open up Task Manager in Windows XP, there is no title bar, menu bar, or program tabs showing. Only the running applications, End Task, Switch To, and New Task buttons show up.

This problem is easy to fix, the Task Manager is running in "tiny footprint mode". To correct this, simply double-click on the border around the window and it will return to its normal state. To place task manager back in "tiny footprint mode" again, double click again on the border around the window.
