• The Windows XP Task Manager does not display the names of process image

  I am running Windows XP with SP3. Image of process names are not displayed in the Task Manager, and in the column picker image process name, although is TICKING, is grayed out. I don't have the PID numbers. So I can't say what processes are underway. There are 57 processes running, that seems to be too many.   I tried running "tasklist > tasklist.txt"from command, prompt but it just flashes and nothing happens. " Does that mean I have a Trojan horse? What can I do about it?

  That seems good enough for me - now, we know that your XP version and Service pack, System brand and model, BIOS version, the amount of RAM installed, the size of your paging file according to NEC, your system has SATA drives and a few other things.

  47 process may be OK depending on what you have installed and running on your system.

  Looking at my notes, I see that I thought a while back that the tasklist.exe program does not come with XP, but there's a copy on my SkyDrive for you to download.

  Here's how:

  Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

  https://SkyDrive.live.com/?CID=6a7e789cab1d6f39&ID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

  You can download it and when you do, place a copy of the file in these folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

  c:\Windows\System32

  When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

  When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

  You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file called tasklist when the name of the file should really be called tasklist.exe (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

  Then, when you run tasklist > tasklist.txt, you should end up with a file tasklist.txt you can open it with a text editor.

  Even if you think yous system may be achieved a malware, it has never hurts to run these free scans before troubleshooting:

  No matter what you use for malware protection, follow these steps:

  Download, install, update and do a quick scan with these free malware detection programs (not at the same time) and remove all threats:

  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  SAS will probably report a lot of tracking cookies and you can just let him delete them.

• The Task Manager does not display the tab process running

  I can't seem to view the processes tab of Task Manager running in my pc and my user account is an administrator account. The only tab that appears is the users tab. What can I do to fix this? Whenever I want to kill some programs running that is causing trouble, I can't use this utility.

  Hi Darko74

  Thanks for the reply.  I forgot to ask the last time, you see the menus. File, Options, display and help?
  Otherwise, the information below may help solve this problem.

  The task manager has two different views. For the display that includes menus and tabs, double-click the border of the Task Manager window. The to return to the view without menus and tabs, double-click anywhere in the border around the tabs.
  
  Please post back and let us know if it helped to solve the problem.  -Thank you

• The Task Manager does not display applications

  When I hit CTRL / ALT / DELETE to start the task, any running application manager appear.  (process appear).  Is there a solution to this?

  Not all running applications appear under the Applications tab. I don't know who should and who should not, but you won't see the anti-virus or anti-spyware listed.

  • The Applications tab in Task Manager displays a list of running programs. A set of rules determines if a process appears on this tab or not. Most applications that have an entry in the taskbar will appear on this tab, but this is not always the case.

  P.S. Made up to see all:

• The Task Manager does not display the extra RAM, I installed.

  I've recently updated the RAM in my office from 4 GB to 8 GB, but the Task Manager still shows 4 GB.  How to recognize a total of 8GB of RAM.  On the control panel – system and Maintenance – display system window, it shows that my office has 8 GB.  So why don't the Task Manager pick it up?

  Hi Teresa Barton,.

  This behavior is the expected result of some hardware and software factors. Various devices in a typical computer require memory-mapped access. This is known as memory-mapped i/o (MMIO). For the MMIO space is available for 32-bit operating systems, the MMIO space must reside in the first 4 GB of address space.

  You can check out the link below that may help you resolve the issue.
  System memory shown in the system information dialog box in Windows Vista is less than expected if the 4 GB of RAM is installed
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929605/en-us

  Note When the physical RAM that is installed on a computer equals the address space that is supported by the chipset, the total system available to the operating system memory is always less than the physical RAM installed. For example, consider a computer equipped with an Intel 975 X chipset, which takes in charge of 8 GB of address space. If you install 8 GB of RAM, the memory available to the operating system system will be reduced by the requirements of PCI configuration. In this scenario, PCI configuration requirements reduce the memory available to the operating system in an amount that is between about 200 MB and 1 GB approximately. The discount depends on the configuration.

• The Task Manager does not display the names of process

  It is not the function of menu hide tabs and menus but the .exe running list is missing, I checked all the columns on and still no luck, I kill the process from the description column now which is a little *. Someone has an idea of what's going on? P.S. It happened randomly more than two years ago and I tried different sites from time to time to get answers but no luck. O.S.: Windows 7 Home 64-bit

  Try this:

  Place your mouse pointer on the left side of the user name column. You should get a slider which is a vertical line with arrows on both sides. Drag it to the right (holding the left button of the mouse). You should see the name column of the visible Image.

• I'm trying to re - install my for windows vista 32 bit synaptics pointing device, but my device manager does not display any device and keeps bring up the keyboard to the screen as how to fix this?

  I tried to install a driver for it but I find only 64 and 86 bit drivers. Sometimes my keyboard is not typing all letters I am getting tye (type) or like this for example. Someone at - it help me fix this please. I really want to get this computer working again.

  Your keyboard might not be hitting the correct letters (typing lertters numbers) because your shift caps lock is enabled (the led is green), to disable it on a portable computer, press on the 'fn + caps lk' keys at the same time, the green light should turn off.

  Your system is 32-bit if you need marked x 86 driver (it's actually 32-bit, there is no system of 86 bit).

  For you On - Screen Keyboard, check if it is automatically configured to start whenever you open a session:

  Go to the Control Panel, easy access, less "explore all settings', click on 'Use the computer without a mouse or keyboard', click on the box in front of"Use on-screen Keyboard"to uncheck if its active.

• the Task Manager does not start

  My laptop started running very slowly and I can't seem to start the Task Manager. Ctrl alt delete gives me the opportunity to start that I chose, but I don't get an inactive icon in my toolbar. I am running vista Home basic with service pack 1. When I restart or stop the laptop hangs at logging off-page. I also noticed that some of my applications/startup process are not start or appearing in my toolbar. I initially had Bit defender as my anti virus - but he exchanged for computer related. I had the problem with both.

  Hi Omanianne,

  Please read the following article from Microsoft Help on the Troubleshooting Task Manager.  Specifically, look at the sections of the Task Manager does not start, and How to enable the Task Manager if it has been disabled.  Based on the other symptoms you have described, it is very possible that you have some kind of virus.  Please make sure that your antivirus software is up to date and run a scan complete your system.  Please let us know if you have any problems or questions.  Thank you.

Now it was working fine a few days ago, that I have no idea what continues to everything and I'm just a bit of new features in Windows. When using the commands to open the taskbar, it does not open but the icon appears at the bottom. I click on the taskbar icon and nothing appears at all the... When I move my mouse over the taskbar button I can see, but it will not appear. It's like he is completely invisible now and I can see it is more more.  I have no idea what to do and I tried clicking and running as administrator but still it even will not open I'm out of ideas.

  Hi Anthony,.

  Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft Community forum.

  We understand that you aren't able to open the taskbar. We appreciate the steps of troubleshooting that you tried it on the computer. We would be happy to help you. This could cause because of system files corrupted on your computer.
   
  1. Since when are you facing this problem?
  2. don't you make changes to the computer?

  Try the following methods:

  Method 1:

  -Press on the Windows key + R

  -Type taskmgr

  Check if you are able to access Task Manager

  Method 2:

  -Press Ctrl + SHIFT + ESC key

  Check if you are able to access Task Manager

   

  Method 3:

  Run the Microsoft safety scanner.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

  Refer (to repair manually corrupted files, see the details of the File Checker process system to find the corrupted file and then manually replace the corrupted file with a known good copy of the file)
