[RESOLVED] Help! My task manager is broken! :(
« on: May 14, 2008, 01:18 AM »
Hi everyone,

I've had this issue before but don't remember how I fixed it, basically the Windows Task Manager still works (opens, terminates stuff, etc) but no longer shows tabs, its window border, or any menus. It is a listbox with a checkbox and a button. Useful, but not nearly as much as it usually is. I mean, I like simplicity, but really...

Does anyone know how I can "fix" Task Manager?

Try to double-click the border of the Task Manager.

It worked! How did you know that? And how does Task Manager switch to that... "mode"?

Double click on the borders.

Oops, slow fingers  :D.
