my task manager on windows vista family premium does not show the tabs before and used to work properly.

my task manager on windows vista family premium does not show the tabs it used to, when I used to open the Task Manager it would be things like 'process' 'services' 'preformance' ect. in the tabs. but now when I open it it shows just a window that has two columns, one labeled task, and other labeled status. It shows what im running, but there any options at all as the winger treat ect. the window is not even an exit or minimize the icon as other windows are in the upper right. the only way to close it alt f4 do - what I do? Ive already tried to restart the computer, and I'm on the only account to administer it. I have a screenshot of the new manager of task here: http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k621/a_bakedpotato/vistataskmanagerisue.jpg

Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

I hope this helps. Good luck.

    It depends on what caused the problem. The system could have hardware problems and need

  • Windows Vista mail program does not export the files all contacts

    After I exported my contacts from e-mail in vcf format windows in a new folder on my desktop, I noticed that NOT all contracts are present in the new folder.   If the contents of the folder, I show the long side windows messaging contacts which I exported the contacts I see some (to be precise, 256) are missing in the new folder. I exported 3 times, each time in a new folder and get the same results. I see that some of the missing files are group folders (apparently Windows Mail does not export to group files in vcf format) but the other files are simply not in the contents of the desktop folder.

    How can I get all the files AND folders in groups to export correctly?

    I was going to say that if you were interested in the migration of these contacts to another Vista computer, you can simply copy the file C:\Users\username\Contacts to your USB and then copy it to the other computer. Which retains all the attributes, including groups.
     
    For any other use, you're stuck fairly well with help of VCF or CSV format to export/import. Sorry, I have no idea why so many contacts are missing when you did.
     
    There is another method (roundabout). Install the free Windows Live Mail program, which will automatically import all contacts from Windows Mail. Be sure to select the option Live ID when prompted by the installer of Windows Live Mail. Therefore, you can keep all your contacts in perfect sync with other computers running Windows Live Mail, and you also have access to the contacts on any computer connected to the Internet by simply go tohttp://contacts.live.com and sign in with the same Live ID.

    You said the following: " " Windows Mail is not for the export of groups. If you'd tell us what you intend to do with the exported contacts, we are able to offer a workaround solution. »

    My answer:

    I want to export my contacts to a USB key that I can take with me and be able to view them on any other PC. I have already established that if I save as the original file extension IE .contact ,, I'm NOT able to view on a computer that is running the Win XP operating system because who uses the email program Outlook Express and the file extension is .wab. I have not yet tried view the contacts vcf on Win7, but as I understand it, I should be able to view the contacts to vcf on that too.  My problem is that I'm missing 256 contacts after I export . I understand that windows Mail export NO groups, but there are only 9 groups from my list of contacts. WHY other contacts don't get exported? I'm doing something wrong and if so, what?

    I appreciate any help you can give.  Thank you and have a nice day.

    OK, thanks for that. You want to mean by clean install, format the drive, then install again installation dvd or tell you since the recovery disk that is created as a separate on my laptop drive. And, if I clean install on my laptop, it will ask to enter the product key during installation?

    Both the Dell recovery disk and partition recovery integrated automatically reformat the hard drive and return the machine to its original state of delivery (at least in theory) - should all have integrated the manufacturer key and requires no key when installing, please write. The integrated partition is probably the best to use in a first time - this is the fastest and less hassle.

    Remember to backup ALL your data to external storage first, as with will wipe away the C: partition and can erase any other partition on the hard drive as well.

    The system is designed for scoped him key to the manufacturer, given three things

    (1) the appropriate key

    (2) the right table SLIC in BIOS

    (3) certificates/licenses well integrated in the software.

    -in your case this system is broken somehow, perhaps following an attack of malware, or a faulty program or "accidental damage" of the software. The key and SLIC table is still OK, but somewhere the ability of the operating system to properly access licenses collapsed - either licenses are missing (unlikely) or the registry has been damaged so that the OS is looking in the wrong place, the wrong information or (or looking at all!).
