I don't know what happened, but every time I hit CTRL-ALT, DEL I get a blank Task Manager window. Basically an empty white box. I am running Windows XP Home Edition.

I couldn't find anything on microsoft.com about this (I'm assuming you already looked there).
I'd post to their newsgroups about this, but it sounds like something a virus would do.
It's not a virus, trust me. This happened just randomly, like I hit a button that accidentally switched it to that mode. I reformatted my HDD before this happened, so it can't be a virus. It was woriking fine after the reinstall, and then I think I hit something to make it go blank like that. It still shows open programs that are running (just major window programs like software or games) but it doesn't show anything else like performance, network, process, ect...Quote:

It's working now... all I did to fix it was double click the top of it... weird. :confused:
Edit: So anyone can try this now after I figured it out. Double-click to the right of the "Users" tab. The Task Manager goes into a compact mode of some kind. Double Click again at the top, and goes back to full mode. Why it's like that, I have no idea.
