task manager

When i open up task manager it is empty.I have just installed kaspersky aol antivirus and outpost a few days ago ,i dont know if this is related,but is it serious,All else seems ok.

 

What tab are you looking at in Task Manager?

 

I only have 1.As i start it i get Task on top left and Status on top right .inside the box i get wilders showing running,if i open it while typeing this.The applications,performance,process,they are all not there.

 

You are running WinXP, correct?

 

I have tune up utilities,which has a simular thing to task manager,and this is all working ok.

 

Yes xp

 

Did a quick Google on the problem and came up empty. I run Tune Uts. on my 2k machine with no problems. Maybe a conflict? Hopefully some one will come along with some experience to lend a hand. Sorry, I am at a lose.

 

I have had tune up utilities for ages so its not the cause.I also drew a blank on google.I have a couple of reg programes,but have restored all backups,so i am at a loss.Thanks for trying to help.

 

hi, you could take a look at your processes to check you don't have malware just so you're sure about it.

Just found by google that i an useing it in small footprint mode.Dont know how this happened.Once i open it up i can cycle between different modes by pressing ctrl and tab.Does anyone know how i revert to how it was originally,because doing this i only get one view of each task,with no selection at the top to switch with the mouse.

 

Sorted it Double clicked in the border to get back.Son must have been playing.With changeing software at same time i thought it was a conflict or something.Thanks for help.
