Perhaps you're pretty good at photoshop

No but really you probably just have this problem:

Where did my Task Manager tabs and buttons go?
Ah, welcome to "Tiny Footprint Mode".

This mode exists for the ultrageeks who want to put a tiny little CPU meter in the corner of the screen. To go back to normal mode, just double-click a blank space in the border.

This is one of those geek features that has created more problems than it solved. Sure, the geeks get their cute little CPU meter in the corner, but for each geek that does this, there are thousands of normal users who accidentally go into Tiny mode and can't figure out how to get back.

no, i am not. the task manager is missing all the tabs. i can no longer access processes. if you are not going to help, please at least have the decency not to taunt someone in trouble.

I also think that it's just in the "Tiny Footprint Mode" as Joefox said, but if not, you can use procexp (http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/fr.../procexp.shtml), it's cooler than the task manager.

yes, Joefox was correct, i've corrected this problem.
