    I am running a Dell insprion 6400 w/xp media edition.

    When I try to run the task manager, I only get the bottom portion (see below) not the tabs normaly seen at the top.

    Anyone have any clues?

    My friend had that happen to him awhile back. I don't remember how he fixed it. I think he just hit a key on the keyboard (alt maybe?).


    Edit: Oh I got it.
    Just double click anywhere on the side (on empty space - like to the right of the scroll bar).

    Someone pulled this trick on me a couple of years ago. Double-click in the border area on the top part of the hidden-view version of the Task Mgr - the full view will return. Oops - Mujtaba beat me to the draw!
