Weird thing happened to Task Manager

It’s none of the processes that make me curious…it’s just that I can’t see the top of my Manager! (that means I can’t see for example, what applications are running etc. nor I can close it via the X icon, nothing. As if the top bit was eaten.)
I can only see the processes on it.
Also, sometimes if I hold it for more than a second, suddenly there’s MILLIONS of task managers coming up!

Suspicous. As if somebody tried to prevent me from knowing certain stuf…

What do you recommend? (i’m sorry if i sound stupid or if this is a weird problem…but this thing is bothering me for ages and i don’t know whether it’s normal or not.)

A picture is worth a thousand words.

No problem here, though I’m not sure what it is that you are experiencing.

Double-click at the top of the task manager window, that should show everything again. You can toggle the menu’s and tabs in task manager on and off by double-clicking in the area next to the tabs

DavidR: Nope, it’s just the top bit of the task manager that I can’t see

bob3160: Tried, but failed. I still can’t see th X icon, nor the “Applications” or stats or anything.

[OT] Sorry to be OT here, but that’s a cool screenshot…! :slight_smile:

My imagination is absolutely terrible today, I just can’t picture what it is (excuse the pun).

sorry if it’s small…

This picture shows all I can see.

I can’t see what applications i’m launching, stats, anything
only processes.

SnagIt makes it very easy, that took about 10-15 seconds as some of the remaining bits I had to blur, the other effects are very simple, but it is a paid application though.

:frowning:
End of OT talk…

What happens if you right click on the taskbar entry for task manager, and select Maximize or Size, that may allow you to resize the window so that you can see it all. You should also be able to hover the mouse pointer over the edge of the window and drag it to increase the size.

Edit, your not only missing the Top portion, you are also missing the Bottom status bar.

Nope, still doesn’t work - when I try to right click on the taskbar entry, nothing happens.
And the entry on the taskbar for the Task Manager is blank…oddly enough,

It’s not that it’s really urgent, it’s just an annoying bug that bothers me >:(

img 1 is probably what you currently see. img 2 is the full view.
To restore the full view double left click where I indicated in the following picture:

Once you do that it will restore to img 2.

Since words alone didn’t work, maybe the pictures will do the trick. :slight_smile:

Well the toggle feature that Bob shows works on my XP Pro system also, so I don’t know why it might not on bostonlover’s system, unless the double clicking is being done in the wrong place.

Precisely why a picture should be worth 1000 words. ;D

Never even knew this feature existed…

I was about to post the same as bob said but bob do got pics so +1 Bob lol…

I did know this long time agooooo…

I posted an illustrated cure for this feature once before but it was quite a long time ago. :slight_smile:
