My problem is that after having a game lock up my screen
and trying to
"key"
my way out (esc, ctl+alt+del, F1, etc.) my task manager
window no longer
has
the toolbar at the top nor the usage info at the bottom. To
close it I
have
to hit esc. Does anybody know how to restore task manager
back to its
former
glory? ;) (this happened awhile back and System Restore
would no longer
be
an option, if that would have been the way to go anyway)
Thanks

XP SP2

It sounds as if you have Task Manager running in "Tiny
footprint mode". Double click the border to restore it to
its original
appearance.

Why is part of my Task Manager gone?
