• Cannot close the Task Manager window

  Hello:

  I am running Windows Vista 32 bit Home Premium on an HP laptop.

  Recently, I started having the following problem.

  When I press Ctrl-Alt-Delete , I get a pop-up window displaying a list

  current tasks are running.  It's OK.

  Sometimes, a task will be "crashes" and must be stopped or deleted.

  Now... I am more able to close/exit the Task Manager when I finished.

  I have a rectangular box, but no close or [X] button in the Task Manager

  upper right corner of the area.  I have to reboot to get rid of.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Double click on the border of the box (or the white space next to him) he should do pimples appear

• How to retrieve the Task Manager window?

  I often used TM for different things, and then it was gone!  Now, when I hit Ctrl/alt/delete everything that happens is a grid to use green and black.  I tried various searches, but am still not able to access.  I'd appreciate any help - thanks

  What happens if you select:
  Start-> Run-> "taskmgr".
  ?

  There should be a "taskmgr.exe" file in the C:\windows\system32 folder.  If she is not there, try to make a copy of it from another machine to Windows XP, it by copying.

• Recently, my Task Manager window was more a bar, Minimize/Close. I have to restart my laptop to get rid of him.

About 2 weeks ago, I noticed that when I go to the Task Manager window, it has more Ribbon to reduce/enlarge/close in the upper right corner of the window. The only way to eliminate the window is to restart my computer. I had several automatic updates that happened during this time from Microsoft (Windows updates) and HP (HP Advisor software). Anyone have any idea why this happened and how to fix it?

  Double-click on the top bar of the Task Manager and the will to "Reduce, restore upwards downwards, close" be restored.

  Don't forget to close all open window press Alt and F4 keys together.

• The task manager has started to appear without borders and will not go away, unless the computer is off.

  When using the Ctrl-alt-delete option and the Manager tasks appears it seems without borders.  The task manager remains after the programs are all closed and will not go away, unless the computer is off.

  It's called mode 'small footprint '.  Double-click anywhere on the border of the Task Manager window and you will get the Menu bar in the rear.

• ALT + ctrl + del, pressing the keys above the Task Manager tab three does not have open__

  By pressing (ctrl + alt + delete), the Task Manager window has not opened.

  Say until the Vista of Ctrl alt delete in Windows Vista. If you are familiar with these legendary keys leading to the top the Task Manager, get ready for a change. Ctrl alt delete Vista now displays a menu full screen. Your options?

  Solution #1

  The new keyboard shortcut is CTRL + SHIFT + ESC. Seems a little more difficult to remember if you ask me;).

  Solution #2

  Right click on the bar tasks opens a context menu, which happens to have the Manager of tasks as an option.

• Get the "pcwum.dll is missing" error message when you open the Task Manager

  Original title: Windows 7 64-bit: task manager and windows update does not work, amd update failed to load detectionprogramm and crashes from time to time

  Sometimes, when I try to open the windows task manager it says: "Het programma kan niet worden gestart omdat pcwum.dll Land op uw computer. ' U * says clean mogelijk oplossen door het programma opnieuw you installeren. Basically, he says pcwum.dll is missing on my computer and I can fix it by reinstalling the program. As it is I can't reinstall the Task Manager. Also, when I try to check for Windows updates, it does not work because it says: "uh" momenteel niet naar "kan updates gezocht worden, omdat Windows Update-service niet actief is. U moet uw computer opnieuw opstarten mogelijk. "translated: you can not search for updates now, because the Windows Update service is not active." You may have to restart your computer. It says this all the time so I will have this since June have not updated since then. When I try to update my AMD updater it says there is a new version available, I now 12.6 and 12.8 update. Can I download and extract, but whenever I try to install it it says it can't find the driver detection program. I have an AMD ATI - Radeon 5700. My computer crashes now and then. I get the famous blue screen, who said he had a problem with a driver (probably one of my graphics card) and needs to restart. When it restarts I have first option starting in safe mode, but I can't update my drivers in safe mode so that didn't help out me. Please help me, I'm having this problem for a few months now, and it gets really annoying.

• 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

• My Task Manager window has no title bar

  My Task Manager window has no title bar (it's usually blue) and nothing underneath, except for applications that run on the page. It gives me at least to go to any other page. I usually use Bill P Studios "WinPatrol" to close the Task Manager.

• Windows 7 upgrade from vista boots without icons or bar spots and can't access the Task Manager.

  New computer was installed with Vista and came with the Windows 7 upgrade when it was released. The dealer did the upgrade. Now, when I boot, I have no icons or taskbar and doesn't get to the Task Manager to start explorer.exe.
  After killing the power I can restart which can sometimes. Once the computer is in place, it works OK.
  I don't know if I can do a repair of win7 or not?

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions. CIE
