Task Manager in Win XP is damaged

[ghaselbe]

Recently I "lost" part of my Task Manager. Whenever I use Ctl-Alt-Del or right click on the taskbar to bring up Task Manager, I only get the window that lists active processes. There are none of the usual tabs, like the one for applications, and there is no "X" in the upper right corner to close it out. Is there an easy way to repair Task Manager without having to reinstall XP? Thanks.

This is a mode of Task Manager, called Tiny Footprint mode. It is easily changed:

I dont think it is damaged, double click on frame of the window see if it returns

Thank you both. The double click on the frame restored it. (And bcastner, thanks for the link to the winxptutor site, which I'll fully check out for additional goodies.)
