[SOLVED] task manager not working

When I do crtl, alt, del or in run taskmgr or right click on the task bar and chose task manager I no longer get the task manager box, only CPU usage that I have to close out on the task bar (not the usual box that has that as a tab - but just the CPU usage with no way to close on the box).
How do I fix this? Any idea why this doesn't work anymore?
Thank you

Re: task manager not working

There are various type of infections that can cause your task manager to not be accessible.

Do you receive any type of error like Task Manager has been disabled by your Administrator or similar?

Please click start start>run now type "taskmgr" without the quotes.

Re: task manager not working

Probably your are infected by a virus and that causes the task manager to malfunction. I have try several times fixing that problem by editing the registry. Have you receive a message saying "Task Manager is disabled by your administrator" or similar?

Re: task manager not working

If you notice the "click start start>run now type 'taskmgr'", was the second out of three different ways I tried to use to run task manager I just didn't write it out that way - sorry I wasn't as clear) and it didn't work.

However, double clicking on the border did restore it.

Thank you to everyone.
