SkydiveMonkey 0 #1 March 22, 2003 Can anyone explain why my Task Manager looks like this ie. not title bar etc. Won't even accept right clicks on the button in the taskbar (only way to close it is via the little graph in the sys tray). Any ideas on how to sort it? ____________________ Say no to subliminal messages Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichM 0 #2 March 22, 2003 Win98? Looks like something has corrupted/overwritten some DLLs. Difficult to fix without a reinstall unless anyone else knows different.Rich M Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RichM 0 #4 March 22, 2003 If you stick the XP Pro CD in and run setup again there is a repair option - worth a try mebbe. Are you logged on with admionistrator priviledges? Maybe non admins can't do anything in taskmgr. You will notice I'm guessing here Rich M Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveMonkey 0 #5 March 22, 2003 It's my machine at home, just started doing it. If I don't have full admin rights, there's something seriously wrong ____________________ Say no to subliminal messages Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndyMan 7 #10 March 22, 2003 got the CD handy? Throw it in, drop to the command prompt, and run 'sfc.exe' - aka system file checker. It should find any corrupt problems. If you can't do that, try a scan disk. My Computer, right click on your 'C:' drive, click tools, then 'Check Now'. It probably won't check, but offer to check on the next reboot. Say yes, then reboot. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
