I have windows xp professional and when I open the task manager all I get is a graph the shows the CPU usage and CPU usage history. How do I get it back to its default setting? I have tried everything I can think of and nothing works.

there are no tabs. its just a grey box with two graphs. the top of the graph on the left says "cpu usage"  and the one on the left says "cpu usage history".

If this doesn't work [url]http://www.wown.info/j_helmig/wxptskmg.htm[/url] email me in the morning & I'll do my best to help you.  As Guzzler says, make sure your login rights are correct.

I got it. apparently I had double clicked the top border of the graph which set it in "tiny footprint mode".  Was a simple matter of double clicking the same border to set it back to default. Thanks for the help guys, its appreciated.

Aaa found it!

[url=http://support.microsoft.com/search/preview.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q314227]Q314227[/url]

SYMPTOMS
The menu bar and tabs may not be visible in Task Manager.

CAUSE
This behavior may occur if Task Manager is running in Tiny Footprint mode. If you double-click the empty space in the border around the tabs, Task Manager switches to this mode.

RESOLUTION
To switch Task Manager to its typical display mode, double-click the top border of the window.
