Is your Task Manager like this pix?



If so, double mouse click where I have it marked in red in the pix and the full Task Manager will reappear...

OK try this, paste the following in to a Notepad file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\TaskManager]

Then save it as task-manager_fix.reg then right mouse click on it and select Merge and OK.

This should fix it for you...
