Taskmanager not quiute right

And neither is myy typing!
All fingers tonight. The hardest part of this question is that its not my PC, so I do not have the ability to respond well to answers.
But, when my friend brings up windows task manager he only gets half the window. Really strange. Maybe I can upload it, i have a screen prnt of it. But what it is, is the lower 3/4s of the window. You can see the bottom, end task, switch task new task, and the open window as if it was in application with nothing running, but nothing above that. No Application, processes, etc..
buttons showing.
Is there a way to rebuild/repair taskmanager?
And it always does this weather you hit Ctrl-Alt-Del, or rght clk on the task bar.
Any help is always appreciated.

Double click in the border of task manager to change it from small footprint mode.

I noticed you have a reg cleaner on your desktop did this happen after he used the reg cleaner, or any other system utility software
such as norton utilitys....

Lil Jimmie,
cool, very cool, I learn something new evey day! I didn't get to read the whole article yet. But I don't see why that option exists.Or why its not coverd in help. But then a lot of things are not covered in help.
I really appreciate it.

Edge, I don't know if he just used reg cleaner or not.
But I do use it, and have for a long time and have never had a problem arise from it. Though I mostly use in manual mode so as to know what is being deleted etc...
But have in the past let it clean out orphan files,. with no ill effects.
Now norton system works, that is another story. Anyone who lets that do anything to their PC is in for a headach in my opinion.. If you want troubles, then use any system works typ APP's and I believe you will get them.
Again, thanks
