What has happened to my Task Manager?

This morning,I opened up the Task Manager and noticed that there are no
longer any options such as
Applications,Processes,Services,Performance,Networ king,and Users(those
tabs are no longer available).

In addition File,Options,View,Windows,and Help at the top has
disappeared also.
Also,the minimize,maximize,and close out buttons have disappeared in
the upper right hand corner,so I can no longer minimize or close the
task manager window. However,when I switch to a different user,the task
manager window is normal and all those options are there.

I would perform a system restore to a date and time of last night at
11:00 pm or sometime yesterday,but I was having trouble with my internet
connection last night and yesterday and I'm afraid if I go back a day in
system restore,I will lose my internet connection again because Belkin
had me change some settings yesterday and last night that allowed me to
stay connected to the internet. Is there any way around using system
restore?

GSalisbury,

I am free to come on this forum and ask a question without doing a
search for my problem. There is no rule that says you have to perform a
search for your problem before you post-and I don't always have the time
to do so. I figured it would be faster to just go ahead post and see if
I could get a quicker answer than if I performed an extensive search.
Well,I was right,I got a quick answer from you. But,you were of no help.
You could have provided an answer in the time it took you to type your
surly remark,but you did not. As for the thread your talking about-what
thread? All you typed was the date. I have actually figured this problem
out on my own. Out of frustration,especially after reading your remark,I
started clicking on the Task Manager window and all those options at the
top of the window are appearing again. When I clicked with my cursor,at
the top edge of the Task Manager,all those options appeared again. So,in
a way......Thank You!

GSalisbury,

You obviously have too much time on your hands. Why do you take the
time to come on this forum just to scold someone for asking a question?
Why bother? You could have just provided a constructive answer and been
a hero. I don't know what your agenda is,but you certainly have a funny
way of making people feel welcome to come on this newsgroup forum.

I have actually been having multiple problems with my laptop computer
for several months now and I have been here on Vista Forums a lot
searching for answers to my computer problems. I know that my thread is
a newsgroup thread that is being mirrored in other computer forum
websites. But,as I said,I have done a lot of searches to my problems and
some of my problems have been resolved and others have not. So,I do come
on here a lot and perform searches for my problems. And,I have learned
so much about computers as a result. I've enjoyed it. But,itis not
enjoyable when someone like you comes on here to pick on someone. You
were simply rude and out of line. I shouldn't be punished for not
knowing much about computers,I mean isn't that the reason people come on
here to ask questions?

When I came on here yesterday to post about my issue with the task
manager,it took literally seconds to post,and I got an answer,however
not helpful,rather quickly-so,I was correct in my assumption that I
would probably get a faster answer by just going ahead and posting.

I also figured that this was just one of many problems that my computer
is having that can not be solved. I mentioned a lot of them in my
thread,"I keep losing restore points". I eventually resolved my restore
point problem,but my other problems have not yet been resolved even
though I have performed extensive searches for them. I just thought that
this was one of those problems,that even with a search for the
answer,could not be solved. You know,to an amateur computer user such as
myself,my problem with the task manager missing all the tabs at the top
and not being able to close or minimize the task manager window could
appear to be a serious problem,that may seem to be a rather unique and
unsearchable problem-it was really a shock to me,hence my posting
without searching first. My computer warranty expired on May 10th and I
am now at the mercy of people on these forums for help. I would
appreciate nice answers instead of being scolded for asking a question.

I finally found the thread that you were talking about. I found it in
Newsgroups in Windows Live Mail-I finally got that set up-never used it
before,and just now learning how. But,I can only find threads,I think
that are only 2 months old-I can only go back so far.

But,I do appreciate the people who responded nicely with an answer to
my problem. I know that this thread will help other people-it seems to
have gotten a lot of attention.


Thanks,
Tonya
