Hmm.....You need to get rid of the virus first, but what makes you think that task manager is deleted?

Make sure the virus is gone first - Boot the computer into safe mode and run a virus checker like Avira Antivir (you can download it on my website at www.mhare.com.au). Once you are sure the virus is gone then run a repair on windows using your windows cd.

Friend repairing the windows is a very critical procedure,can't i just copy the task manager file from windows cd into windows folder?And thanks for reply

No, actually. You can insert the windows CD and run a repair installation without losing any data or application. Be sure you do not use "recovery console" to repair your operating system, though.

Much easier fix!! just double click that bar around the window. The buttons are just hidden.

This sounds like the logical answer. I don't have an XP pc to test it on but it sounds reasonable. Give it a try and let us know.

Haha this guy is right. On XPs when you double click the outside bar the tabs disappear Should be a very easy fix
