No office, no windows task manager Vista won't start
My computer blue projected earlier today. I restarted and it lets me put my password, but it took longer than usual to load. When it finally loaded everything that I had was a grey-white screen and my mouse pointer. I can't run it the future programme and when I try ctrl alt del, I see that the Task Manager is missing. I didn't have time to write the error code given by the blue screen because my computer auto closed after that he ended up dumping physical memory. I tried to start in safe mode and the safe mode with cmd prompt and it's always the same. What can I do to fix this?

The Windows Task Manager seems completely wrong - it has no tabs for applications, services, processes, performance and networking, just one size rectangle box SHOW the TASKS of WORKING ON? I use it all the time close process and close programs stuborn. None of these options are CURRENTLY available? The only thing I can think is I went to delete one of my readers WD3.0 data and he says it has been used by another program and I've had that happen before and just go close a lot of the process by typing Control, Alt and delete which opens the windows task manager. I recently changed "System Configuration'under'msconfig" Normal startup to "selective startup" and reduce the number of drivers and programs loading to 'Start Up', as he ran 90 things and slow start. "" "» I have no viruses or malware. I changed the "system configuration" back to normal + restart and that he would remove the progams, or processes that have been intefering with the Western Digital HD software. THIS IS WHEN I FIRST NOTICED WINDOWS TASK MANAGER HAS BEEN SCREWED UP.
But I can't because my Windows Task Manager is just a rectangular box with a single word to the top sayingTASKS! Without tab with all the other options as in (program, process, services, performance, and network management).
Would BE AN INTELLIGENT PERSON please TELL ME WHAT TO? I don't want to do a system restore , as I just cleaned it all points this week and just started around and added a bunch of programs and data this week that I let go.
PLEASE HELP ME TECHE AND MICROSOFT. I PAY $250 p/year FOR THIS DELL ALIENWARE MACHINE LOADED due to it's PERFORMANCE AND THEY WILL NOT ANSWER (1) DANG SOFTWARE ISSUE WITH what THEY ARE PAID. THEY WANT $60 - $100 OR MORE TO ANSWER THIS QESTION FRENCH ANOTER. THEY USED TO, WHEN I COULD BUY GOLD SUPPORT BUT THEY SELL ON THIS MACHINE, SO I'M ON MY OWN AND THANKS FOR THE ADVICE LIKE THIS...
The Microsoft Support web site.
The task manager has two different views. For the display that includes menus and tabs, double-click the border of the Task Manager window. To return to the view without menus and tabs, double-click anywhere in the border around the tabs.
We won't have the information mentioned in the first response of Sandsweep.
(I confirmed Microsoft's answer worked.) I must have clicked on the edge of the window Task Manager to have switched over to the second, less familiar view.)

I tried to delete the icon cache and it did not work...Hello
Method 1: perform a system restore and see if it helps.
Method 2: check in safe mode, if the issue not to persist in safe mode, and then put the computer to boot.
Step 1: start the computer in safe mode
Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.
Start your computer in SafeMode (Windows 7)
Step 2: put the computer to boot and see if it helps.
To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
Note: follow step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.

CS5->; CS6 upgrade hangs, block the windows Task Manager, does nothing else
Got the CS6 Design Standard update, hoping to upgrade from CS5 Design Premium. Could it be the problem? I don't have all the added bonus and this stuff is ridiculously expensive.
In any case, I put the disc, nothing happens. I run the set - up.exe, the disc spins, then nothing continues to happen. I watched it for up to 5 minutes and nothing.
Set - up.exe isn't in Applications, but it's in the process in windows Task Manager. However, there is no real activity at all. When I try to end the process, WTM crashes. I have to every hard reboot or eject the disc in order to recover.
What gives? I can post PDApp.log if need be, but I don't know how much help it will be.
W7 Pro 64-bit
So it turns out that it was the reader. I installed an internal DVD SATA drive and it ran the update without fault. Just in case someone else stumbles across this post with a similar problem, make sure that you do not install the update of an external USB DVD drive, specifically a Samsung SE-S084. It won't work.
Thanks for the help guys!

How to restore my Windows Task Manager menu bar?
This morning (1/27) then I tried to unlock my computer through a boring program Norton 360 use, I have somehow disabled/deleted not only my menu bar in my Windows Task Manager, but the icons that reduce, maximize, and close the screen for both Task Manager. The only way I can shut it down now is by right-clicking on the icon when it appears in my task bar.
Looks like you run the Task Manager using tiny/small footprint.
If you double-click on the empty space around the border of the screen of the Task Manager, it will change from normal mode, and then you should see the tabs you are accustomed to seeing.

Are you using the quick change of user with more than one user connected and are both instances of HpqPhUnl.exe running under different user names?
Although it is always possible for malware to masquerade as a legitimate file, HpqPhUnl.exe is related to the HP Photosmart Essential software provided with printers HP all-in-one.

I had my PC full of virus before, I had an antivirus and secure (cleaned) my computer.
The problem is - when I try to run the windows Task Manager, it just does not respond to click on it, I double click but it does not open and there is no erors sistem masages, it just does not open. I checked in the system32 folder, there is the "taskmgr.exe" but it does not work what I do!
What should I do?
can someone tell me what my problem is?
Renaming taskmgr.exe something else worked for me. The virus that was on my machine called 'Internet Security Essentials'. Its executable was in (Windows XP) Documents and Settings\all users\application data\d800ce\isd80_2112.exe. Although workaround for the task manager worked, Internet Explorer does not see the internet at present. The registry has been changed on this machine.

In the Windows Task Manager, I have 76 processes running. What are they all? Can I reduce/close them?
I am only a very lightweight browser and the user of the social network. I do not use my PC for something else.
It is average for a system Windows does not.
Windows is broken down into different components so they can be executed in parallel to improve performance.

The window Task Manager users send a message to users
Can someone help me install send a message to the user on Windows 2008rs on Windows Task Manager user...
Well, that's the case I click with the right button on the taskbar click Start Task Manager, click user and do a right click on a user, click send a message, I type a message and click OK and it says (your message to the user Paul (sessionid = 1) could be sent. Access is denied. Can someone please help :).
Phongng714,
The error that you normally get is due to a lack of Message special access permission rights. You can learn more about this here. You will notice in the section Additional Considerations that he mentions this authorization. You can manage permissions on a per connection basis in Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration. The permissions are listed on the Security tab in the connection Properties dialog box.
Could check you the permission level and see if that solves it.
