Guest Bob L. Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 The Task Manager does not show any toolbar buttons on the top of the window or status bar at the bottom. There are no buttons for Applications, Processes, Performance, Networking or Users. It is just a blank window with applications that are running. There is no (X) to close the window. What could be causing this problem and how could I make the repair. Thanks, Bob
Guest Curt Christianson Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 Re: Windows Task Manager is a Blank Window Hi Bob, It sounds as though Task Manager is running in "Tiny Footprint" mode. Double-click on the border, and it will restore to normal. -- HTH, Curt Windows Support Center http://www.aumha.org Practically Nerded,... http://dundats.mvps.org/Index.htm "Bob L." <BobL@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:5C8C24CF-60A0-4D12-AE79-A781EACCF7DF@microsoft.com... | The Task Manager does not show any toolbar buttons on the top of the window | or status bar at the bottom.

Guest Bob L. Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 Re: Windows Task Manager is a Blank Window Hi Curt, Man that was a quick response and you are right on the money. I double clicked the border and everything is back to normal. One question though, How did I get into the :Tiny Footprint Mode".
