Task Manager on Windows XP - damaged?? How to correct

Hi,

My PC which is running Windows XP Pro with SP2 suddenly has the Microsoft
Windows XP "Task Manager" not working as before.

It seems to be damaged, and does not show the top level menu that allowed me
to choose whether to look at the 'performance graph' or at 'processes' or '
applications' !!!!!!

All I see now seems to be a list of processes running (might be just the
'processes' screen/window portion of Task Manger). I don't have access to
looking at the running 'applications' or looking at the CPU and Memory
graphs, nor am I able to sort by CPU, etc.. on the 'processes'
screen/window.

I have run the Windows XP fix two times - using the Windows XP Pro
Installation CD. Still the same problem.

How can I re-install the Task Manager? What could have caused this?

Thanks,
Ted M.
