Guest Bob Urz Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 I had a Trojan problem (Vundo) that i think i have excised. Now, when i pull up the task manager, all the top menus are gone including maximize and minimize. How do i get the menus back on the top of the task manager? Without these menus, i cannot close the task manager once i open it with ctr/alt/del Bob

Easy fix - double-click the empty space in the border around the tabs to get it out of Tiny Footprint Mode. http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=193050 Make -- Elephant Boy Computers http://www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"

Your post suggests that more needs to be done, Bob. Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log to an appropriate forum.
