System: I am running Win/XP, SP2 on a (3 week old) Dell9100. Virus/Firewall is McAfee (as received with the system; it is up to date). AntiSpyware is MS AntiSpyWare (and is up to date). I have done full system scans for virus and other problems everything looks clean.
Problem: When Cntl-Alt-Del is pressed to bring up the Windows Security window and Task Manager is selected, a normal Task Manager window comes up for the administrator account and all other accounts except one.
For that one account, the Windows Security window looks normal, but the Task Manager window that comes up appears to be a truncated version of the normal Task Manager window. There is no header, no menu bar, no tabs, etc. It looks like the Applications tab window. There are the three normal Application tab buttons and they seem to work as one would expect. The data in the task window is correct. This account has administrator privileges. And, of course, this is the account I use 95% of the time.
So, any idea what is going on here?
Thanks
