Heh, get this, my TASK MANAGER won't come up when I press the keys for it, nor will it come up when I right click taskbar on my screen and click "Task Manager"
I have no idea what the hell's going on but man I swear it's something new everyday with my computer...
Anyone have any ideas?

SYMPTOMS
When you start Task Manager, the menu bar and tabs may not be visible.

To switch Task Manager to its normal display mode, double-click the top border of the window.
WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, perform the following steps: 1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type taskmgr.exe.
3. Hold down CTRL+ALT+SHIFT at the same time, and while holding them down press ENTER.

MORE INFORMATION
When Task Manager is running in Tiny Footprint mode, you can resize the window.

Alright, thanks m8. I have a folder called "winupdates" but I can't go into Safe Mode right now because I have a lot of shit going at the moment.
But that helped nonetheless.
You can close the thread now if you want.
