For some reason my Task Manager doesn't look right. All I can see is
what would appear under the processes tab. No other tabs appear. The
"title bar" doesn't even appear at the top. I'm running Windows XP
Pro.

Anyone know what causes this and how to fix it? Thanks



Here's a screenshot:

Your Task Manager is in Tiny Footprint mode. Simply double-click on the
top border of the window.

It sounds like you're running Task Manager in "Small Footprint
Mode." Simply double-click anywhere along the top or side borders to
return to a normal view. Alternatively, pressing <Ctrl>+<Tab> will
allow you to cycle between the various displays, and <Alt>+<F4> will
close it.

You're running in what's called "Small Footprint Mode." To change back
and forth from this mode to regular mode, just double-click on the
border.
