hey theres this kinda weird thing when i press alt control delete....it looked regular at first but now when i press it, the box is weird and you know that thing that has the CPU power usage and stuff....well there are no tabs anymore. should i reinstall windwos xp b/c i don't like looking at this weird box when i presss control alt delete.
 
try a repair install, keep in mind that you will have to reinstall sp1 also if you have done that

Just double-click anywhere on the window border of the Task Manger. What you are looking at is the Simple View.

xxbigeyedfishxx - you really should be careful about suggesting a reload when it isn't necessary.
 
DON'T repair install this happened to me to once before. All you have to do is double click on it. I was freakin out for a few minuites but once i realized how easy it was i felt stupid. OH well that should fix it :)
 
LOL I DOUBLED CLICKED IT! YAY IT WORKS!!!! lol i was about to re install just now....then i was like....."i should post this on ntfs.org
 
oops....heh sorry

Also with the TaskManager sometimes the Tabs can become hidden if you are using a custom theme. Most of them dont do this but just change the theme and all will be fixed.
Thought I would post that so that people dont reinstall because the tabs dont show up.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
